I recall it being 7.2, but it's been a while since I tried D with gdb, so I 
don't know. And it may have improved quite a bit since the last time I tried 
(it's probably been well over a year now since I tried it with anything other 
than tracking down a segfault). Part of my problem is that I'm so used to 
using printf debugging now that I don't even think about using a proper 
debugger even when I should. I usually only end up using a debugger when I 
have no other choice (which is not the best of habits).

I recall running into cgdb in the Arch repo and thinking of checking it out, 
but I don't recall if I did anything beyond install it. I'll have to make sure 
that I check it out some time soon.
