The latest features that have been added and some in the pipeline 
are questionable. Is the complexity added by basically 
maintaining a C compiler inside of D now. The added complexity 
isn't worth it. It's just another massive feature stretched thin.

Having to convince those two is a waste of time. The entire 
community can be in uproar as I saw with safe by default C 
declarations, and they still won't change their mind. Whoever 
says that effort is better served doing bug fixes or writing Dip 
obviously hasn't tried to do either. My time is best served 
complaining about how awful it is than to waste my time going 
through the processes.
