Not really, he just wants to dogfood betterC on the dmd backend
when it's ported to D.

Seem like issues with 32-bit OS X instead.

This is going to require changes to ldc/gdc CI, as they actually
maintain and test against that last C++ version of the common D

presents another hoop to jump through.
I see little reason to jump now. If it's done, it needs to be
clearly documented.
