I for one like gnuisms. Multi compilers pulling in different 
directions move people forward and makes for some degree of 
accountability for the answer "its to complex to implement", and 
you're using the product of such a thing; c++ and d probably 
wouldn't exist if people didn't modify 100 c compilers with 100 
different takes.

Deprecating dual context in dmd was a gigantic mistake and 
honestly SDC or something needs to get usable eventually or else 
whats d going to do, limit itself to only safe changes?
