cool, no problem! Take a break if you need it. I've put you 
through the ringer! You've fixed quite a few of the issues I've 
had with Visual D over the last few months and it looks like it's 
starting to get to the state that it is becoming useful to me. 
Before it was almost no better than printf debugging, but now it 
looks like it's starting to compare to the C++ debugger.

If I can get visual D to compile I'll try and add some features 
in the future.
