Well, my task, was to highlight this issue in D, and stop it from 
always being stuffed under the rug by the 'opposers'.

Thanks to dkorpel, for 'volunteering' his time and effort, to 
really move this forward (not as a new language feature, but as 
something you can try out, if you want).

So I'd say, the straedgy worked, just fine ;-)

Making 'noise' was, sadly, the only way to get any movement on 
this.

A DIP, at this point, would have resulted in absolutely nothing 
occuring. (probably why so many were encouraging me to take that 
path instead).

If anyone needs me, I'll be playing with 'private(this)' in 
dkorpel's branch of dmd.
