Well, take your pick:

You always tell people to post to bugzilla, but many of these 
things have been posted over and over again. Bugzilla search is 
terrible, so it is frequently hard to find, but there are many 
examples there.

The benefit though of watching support requests is you see what 
people actually deal with day-to-day, and error messages, 
especially multiple overload matches of functions and templates 
and no template matches ones come up all the time. ALL THE TIME. 
 From new users and experienced users alike. Most won't put it in 
bugzilla though: they just see it as their own personal failure 
instead of a technical problem we can fix.

But any repeated support request should be seen as a user 
experience problem that we try to fix. This is where we'd get the 
most productivity - taking little bumps out of the road. D has no 
roadblocks; we can get a lot of stuff done with it exactly the 
way it is, but if you watch users actually try to use it, you'll 
see the road isn't as smooth as it could and should be.
