Excellent work!  It looks like a lot of mundane bugs are getting fixed,  
which is a good sign :)

A couple questions:

1. "The result type of the typeid(type) is now the most derived TypeInfo  
class, rather than the TypeInfo base class"  Why can't this be propogated  
to D1?  I can't imagine code that depends on the return value being typed  
as TypeInfo that would not simply just work with the most derived return  
type...

2. A while ago, (I can't find the post, it may have been on reddit) you  
mentioned that you were going to add property notation.  Is that still  
going to happen?  I'm really looking forward to that, and if not, is there  
a reason?
