D's IFTI implementation is really, really bad. If you stray even 
slightly from the "happy path" of conventional, idiomatic code, 
it completely falls apart. Here's a list of just the bugs that I 
*personally* have found and reported in D's IFTI:

- https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22903
- https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22111
- https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23292
- https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23645
- https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23644

I would not be surprised if a ground-up rewrite of the entire 
IFTI implementation was necessary to fix all of these issues.
