Not really, as I will only know the full extent when either I or
someone else sits down and tries it out.

I can of course update the GDC on-going projects page that someone
reminds me to do on a yearly basis before GSOC comes round the corner,
but that quickly goes out of date within a month or two.

I can say that I anticipate the following will need fixing though:

- Backport CTFloat from upstream.
- Remove 'import ddmd.mars' from all frontend modules.
- Add many more static create functions - TypeStruct::create,
StructDeclaration::create, there are probably a dozen or so more.

Here's the wiki that needs TLC. http://wiki.dlang.org/GDC/ProjectIdeas
