We definitely need to check, but note that we are ONLY talking
about Phobos bugs. Not DMD bugs.
I don't think there are many D1 Phobos bugs which also apply to
D2 Phobos.
I have at times gone through all of the D1 compiler bugs, and
marked them as D1&D2 where possible. The ones that never applied
to D2 have "D1 only" in the title. I only found 38 of them.
I have never looked at the Phobos1 bugs, most of those should
just be closed.
