I think a big part is that the implementation was done. I think there's 
a big difference between "I don't really love this, but crap, I'll have 
to implement it all" and "I don't really love this, but the 
implementation isn't too intrusive, and all I have to do is click the 
merge button, OK." I sure wish I had the skills to hack dmd, there are 
so many ideas I'd like to see implemented in the language :)

Anyways, great to see this merged!
