Actually, they're so bad right now anyway from a baseline of 
acceptability to me that nothing I add on top makes it that much 
worse. Currently I'm trying to work out an efficient way to 
interpret D to run unit tests so I don't have to pay the linker 
tax and just avoid compiling code whilst developing. It'll be a 
lot of work, though... :(
