I know this is off-topic, but I don't think it warrants a forum post... if
someone thinks it does then I'll make one:

I've never made a DIP before, but @noreturn is a feature that I care about, and
there is still no DIP for @noreturn despite the fact that this issue is over
two years old.  I'm sure I could find the time to write a proposal or two for
enhancements I really care about (I happen to have a knack for technical
writing).

1. Can anyone (me) just create a DIP, or does there have to be some sort of
approval or discussion first before I post it?

2. Is it required that there be a corresponding issue in the issue tracker for
the problem addressed by the DIP?

3. Similarly, is it required that there be a corresponding link to a news group
discussion (discussion, not announcement -- I know the announcement is
required)?  http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP1 made it seem like a discussion link is
preferred but not required, but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks in advance >^,^<
