Thanks! I find it reasonable to lower our expectations of the 
language/tools for a while. I've decided to go on without const and 
other goodies like the scarcely implemented "alias this".

For now, the most important for me are the issues with struct lifetime 
management. For example, destructors should be called on global struct 
instances. And this one is critical:

It would be great if we soon had a complete and debugged implementation 
of the struct semantics described in TDPL.
