Hi, sorry perhaps I should've clarified. (This is known to the relevant people
but since this is a public post...) I was the one who did the
core.sys.windows.* migration, and the above is a list of things I plan to fix
myself. I've posted to let people know in advance that I plan to do it - I'm
abroad at the moment, but will get to this next week.

I agree that these are important problems, and I'll see if I can include them
with my fixes, but they are actually less urgent than the ones above, because
fixing them is not going to break any existing D code.
