Hello everyone,
I have finished writing the last details of the copy constructor DIP[1]
and also I have published the first implementation [2]. As I wrongfully
made a PR for the DIP queue in the early stages of the development of
the DIP, I want to announce this way that the DIP is ready for the draft
review now. Those who are familiar with the compiler, please take a look
at the implementation and help me improve it!
Thanks,
RazvanN

Here is a question (that I don't think has been asked) why not @copy?
@copy this(ref Foo other) { }
It can be read as copy constructor, which would be excellent for helping
people learn what it is doing (spec lookup).
Also can we really not come up with an alternative bit of code than the
tupleof to copying wholesale? E.g. super(other);
