I was going to edit the document and argue for it (but procedure has 
been a bit different this time), shared libraries.

 From what I saw in 2017 and pre 2016 too they are the number one 
implementation issue of D that drives people away. Almost everything 
else can be worked around.

Now that we have @nogc exceptions, and are going pay-as-you-go for 
runtime, this is the biggest thing holding us back IMO.

We need clear use cases with example code that works cross-platform.

With D-host, With C-host, merged with host, unmerged to host. Stuff like 
that.
