That is really good news!
One less shackle preventing users from adopting :D (and if I am 
not mistaken, directly contributing to DMD)

I was just discussing it with Steve at our Boston D Meetup last

your explicit blessing for each case—which was guaranteed. 
Strange how things work in this world many times—especially where 
software is involved.
