These posts are a poor imitation of the auto-generated report at 
the top of my blog every week.

http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.html

so if you go down and find the date, i actually have links. So 
this one is 9/12:

http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2022_09_12.html

If you click on the "bugs fixed", you'll get the list of ones 
actually marked FIXED (I didn't think "invalid" and "won't fix" 
were worth listing, but perhaps I should add them right to the 
report, it might be interesting)

But anyway, the link is a bugzilla search and you can changed 
FIXED at the very end of it to WONTFIX or INVALID to get those 
lists for the same time period:

https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&chfield=bug_status&chfieldfrom=2022-09-06&chfieldto=2022-09-12&chfieldvalue=RESOLVED&list_id=242107&query_format=advanced&resolution=WONTFIX

Most of those are pretty old as you can tell by the low id 
numbers.


I sampled a few just now. Interestingly one is an enhancement 
request with an attached PR with the last comment being: " Anyone 
that wants to pick it up feel free to reopen or start a new PR 
from scratch."

So... is WONTFIX an official declaration? If so, why would the PR 
be allowed to be reopened?


Another one is about foreach range with index. Closed because you 
can use `enumerate` instead. So unlikely to actually change there.


Another newer bug is about alias this and private, closed because 
it is by design that you can't have a public alias to a private 
member. Makes enough sense to go ahead and make it official that 
this isn't going to change.


etc. but anyway with the link from my blog it is easy enough to 
change the url to get the list at least.

i tend to post my blog late but it always auto-generates the same 
timeframe.
