I tried to convince him on IRC to start contributing code not too 
long ago, arguing that he's a better programmer than I am and 
even I've gotten a bug fix or two in.  He says he's not as 
competent as he sounds which is patently absurd. He'll be an even 
bigger asset to D than he is already once he decides to start 
sending pull requests.
