This kind of language is just boring. How about a table?

You can make one in Emacs org-mode very easily:

| D feature          | random? | seems cool | fun? | incomplete?  
           |
|--------------------+---------+------------+------+------------------------|
| scope(exit) et al. | ???     | sure       | yes? | where's 
scope(enter) ? |
|                    |         |            |      |              
           |

Data's great. You can add to it, explain it, debate it. None
of the vague impressions posted to this thread are ever even
answered.
