For me, the fundamental issue with it was the design - use tagged variants or 
virtual functions? I agree with you that without a decision on that, proceeding 
with an implementation is not worth the effort.

BTW, one issue is nearing resolution. D will soon provide a dll for phobos for 
Linux, and it is intended to migrate this to all platforms, which will resolve 
the ODR problem.
