I think I touched it indirectly. There is every time "the 
feature" that will make D most popular language in the world, be 
it safety (which will kill C) or betterC (which will kill C?), RC 
instead of GC or whatever. A lot of work is done, but after some 
time everyone loses interest and the written code becomes a mess. 
Look how are Phobos containers implemented, there is no 
consistent memory model.
