LOL. Yeah, well. It's not like I'm going to lie about it.

I'd love to see this fixed as well, but I can't change reality, and I have lots 
of other stuff that I need to do (much of which is Phobos-related) and not 
enough time to do it, so I'm not going to spend the time figuring out enough 
about the compiler to implement it myself. And the reality of the matter is 
that even if someone implemented it right now, it's unlikely that it would end 
up in the next release of the compiler, because it's now in beta. The chances 
aren't necessarily zero, but they're pretty low, and since no one shows any 
signs of implementing it right now AFAIK, that pretty much puts the chances at 
zero.
