Yes, please. This is not only useful for current D2 programmers, but also
for newcomers (such as myself). Often I use trail and error alongside the
reading of references to learn new languages. If the compiler allows many
language constructs/features that are deprecated, it would be very useful to
have such a list. Otherwise I'm afraid that I will be writing D2 code that
will work today, but will break with a newer more strict version of the
compiler when it arrives. Not that I'm planning on writing huge amounts of
D2 code right now ;-) but I wouldn't like having to unlearn things later. At
least I'd like to keep that to a minimum.

Groet,
Tim
