Because he (Dennis) made me interested in the compiler itself, by 
showing me how I could have private(this).

Before that, I don't recall ever looking at the compiler source 
code.

Now, I have my own 'fork' of the compiler source code, that has 
private(this) enabled by default, and also has a number of other 
features that I make the compiler do, to work for me (rather than 
the other way around).

That's why I'd vote for him. Cause he showed me how to do it 
myself, and as a result got me motivated to work out how to make 
the compiler work for me.

The current D leaders (and many in these forums) just wanted to 
focus on obstruction, and ensuring that the idea could not be 
propagated in these forums.

Another reason I'd vote for Dennis, is because he combined 
BeerConf and Mario....  ;-)
