Not particularly. I'll leave it to Paul to communicate the big stuff.

Mine:

Only things I'd change is dump TypeInfo in favor of my own thing, and 
allow getting rid of duplicative state (defensive programming).

After all, having tables that were later manually modified (which they 
were) without the table generator is a ticking time bomb. That could 
stop dmd being released.
