It has to be said that Walter's recent work on Phobos has wide 
appeal, is highly interesting (who doesn't like generic 
algorithms?) and relatively easy to review (requires no 
domain-specific knowledge apart from advanced D, perhaps some 
Unicode). In my experience, similarly themed PRs by other authors 
receive a similar amount of scrutiny. I'm hesitant to believe 
Walter's work is being heavily scrutinized just because it's 
Walter.
