That stuff would be nice, but IMO it can wait until after 1.0.  It 
doesn't break backwards compatibility, so after 1.0 it won't have to 
wait until 2.0, assuming we leave backwards breaking changes until each 
next major version.  Also, I just don't see the lack of these features 
as harming to D's image as other things like erraneous documentation on 
the digitalmars d website or ... 'access violation' (could we get line 
numbers or something?).
