--- Comment #5 from Walter Bright <bugzilla at digitalmars.com> ---
I'm going to resolve this as wontfix. I know I come down hard on breaking
changes, but in my mind I thought it was good enough if calling the function
with the same arguments continues to work. For example, adding a parameter with
a default value will enable the calls to work, but of course anything using
ParameterTypeTupe or relying on the particular mangled name is going to break.
I'm going to say that the latter two cases are a little too restrictive to say
we won't break them.
