I have with regards to debugging on windows. It is unironically 
so terrible that I have to stop using the d programming language 
all together. The difficulty in fixing requires too much time 
from me and it a requires a full time developer just to fix this. 
I can't recommend programming d on windows platform for serious 
work, due to this major issue.
