As always, thanks for the write up. I looked up the DIP numbers:

- 1008: Exceptions and @nogc (which was 
[postponed](https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/other/DIP1008.md#review))
- 1025: Dynamic Arrays Only Shrink, Never Grow (which was 
[withdrawn](https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/other/DIP1025.md#reviews))

- 1021: Argument Ownership and Function Calls 
([accepted](https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/accepted/DIP1021.md#community-review-round-1))
