Indeed. But also, and in all fairness, I think some of the people that 
complained there was only one compiler, had in mind the desire to have a 
*different* implementation of a D compiler (this would be helpful, for 
example, to validate the "specification" of the D language). But that is 
not what we have, all current three compilers are based on DMD.

(note: I'm not implying having more compiler implementations is an 
important thing right now, or in the near future)
