We had this talk before, and you now it's a lie. If ImportC was 
just a C compiler - fine (not really fine, but at least your 
point would stand). But ImportC has to extensively communicate 
with D code, which requires specification on topics including, 
but not limited to:

* How C code should be imported in the first place (directly 
changes how `import` works)
* How parts of C code should be translated to usable D code 
(unclear, nobody discussed that)
* How to translate incompatible C `const` to D's `const` (no 
solution exists to this day, and you choose to ignore criticism 
on this topic)
* How to expand and use macros

And that's just what I could thinkg of from the top of my head. 
Go ahead and tell me all of that requires no specification.
