In addition to the expected items, we have a new top-level priority -
locking down the language definition. This is in recognition of the fact
that we need a precise definition of the language going forward.
Thanks,

I was going to edit the document and argue for it (but procedure has
been a bit different this time), shared libraries.
From what I saw in 2017 and pre 2016 too they are the number one
implementation issue of D that drives people away. Almost everything
else can be worked around.
Now that we have @nogc exceptions, and are going pay-as-you-go for
runtime, this is the biggest thing holding us back IMO.
We need clear use cases with example code that works cross-platform.
With D-host, With C-host, merged with host, unmerged to host. Stuff like
that.
