For a language that aims at C/C++'s domain, it's extremely depressing that 
this is still the case. I *really* think this needs to be one of D's top 
priorities at this point. I honestly see it as D's #1 biggest glaring hole 
ATM (Honestly, I've always cared about embedded/non-x86 processors *far* 
more than the native 64-bit support that got enormous attention awhile 
back). 'Course I'm kinda just blowing smoke out my ass since I unfortunately 
have neither the time nor ability to help tackle this goal :(
