No, I don't believe so. I just recall that when the recent CTFE changes came 
up in one of the threads in the main newsgroup, and I mentioned that they were 
still broken, because my recent changes to std.datetime weren't compiling, Max 
said that they were causing a lot of failures for QtD as well. I doubt that he 
would have created a bug report though, given that Don was in the middle of 
his changes. It's quite possible that it compiles fine now though. I just 
think that it should be verified that the CTFE changes are now stable enough 
that QtD is no longer failing to build because of them as it was before. Much 
as Don's changes are definitely something that we want, they risk causing 
serious regressions if we're not careful.
