It would be nice if keeping them in sync was a priority, I would 
love to use GDC so I could use GDB, but not having the latest 
fixes is simply not worth it. Even simple things dont work when 
you go back just a few versions, like in 2.066 isForwardRange is 
not correct and does not work properly, something as simple as 
that does not work. Not to mention using the new stuff like 
allocators.
