I think it was when DMD finally hit 1.0 (and thus got some extra 
attention). People would complain that "their" language indeed do have 
(insert feature here) and then show a two-page example on how to do this 
  via the language's standard library. Usually a D user would then point 
out somewhat smugly that the comparison page states that only language 
  features are compared - standard libraries are not included in the 
comparison. Although this may be true, the discussion would usually 
degenerate from there into some form of flame war with hurt feelings and 
bruised egos.
Programmers can be very dogmatic like that sometimes. Just as other 
people we tend to mix up what we do with who we are. I think it was 
decided that although the comparison page was technically correct, it 
had to be "truncated" a bit in the interests of public relations.
