1.  Phobos and Tango should be mix-and-match-able in both D1 and D2.
2.  Less conservative GC.  It's aggravating when a supposedly GC'd language for
all practical purposes still requires manual deallocation of some stuff if you're
working with large datasets, due to false pointer issues.
3.  Scalable memory allocator that isn't a bottleneck on multithreaded code.
4.  Array capacity field so that appending to arrays isn't slow and isn't a
multithreading bottleneck.
5.  *Please* fix bug 929.  http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=929
