D is a continually improving language. If it wasn't and D2 had 
the same design today as it did when it was released,  or it had 
a language committee and it proceeded at a quarter of the speed, 
then D would not be nearly as popular as it is now. Design by 
committee usually produces subpar or bland results and is 
painfully slow to boot, and IIRC is one of the reasons Walter 
created D: to get away from the C++ standards committee.
