Simply going with foreach loops is a nice improvement.
Thas sounds like a job that I can do. At this moment I am reading
DMD source code starting from main() because when I tried to
understand part of something I wanted to change it felt that to
understand something you basically need to understand a third of
compiler.
One of biggest and needless hurdle I face in reading DMD code is
single letter variable name. If I change one letter variable
names to more descriptive ones would that patch be welcomed or
considered needless change?
