So how do you get that I have a problem with rebasing from the 
DMD backend being buggy, a damn mess of code with no 
documentation, and there's really only one person maintaining it 
but they are too busy doing other things to bother doing work on 
the backend and related PRs, and that it should be replaced with 
LLVM because of a long list of benefits that outweighs the cons? 
My mind is shattered with the ki d of mental gymnastics that you 
have had to pull to get that point, did you even read the 
comment? Evidentially not.

The troft is over there, not here -- cause that's about as 
relevant.
