A regression is defined as:  An upgrade of the compiler resulted in code 
that worked with a previous version of the compiler no longer does.

Now, having said that, there's a limit to where that applies.  For 
example, there's been several points in the D lifetime where something 
purposely changed and was labeled in the change log as a breaking 
change.  For the time being, I'd only consider it a regression if it 
worked for some version >= 1.000 but doesn't work in the current version.

Make sense?
