C++ templates can be resolved, at least at the level Mir needs

Stefanos wrote the DIP and even the druft.
Yes, if something is perceived as bug it becomes a burden to
remember that it is isn't. Not sure why anyone resist this
improvement. Hm, he seems to be a compiler consultant now, but
no longer interested in D?
Maybe the DIP should have pushed harder on what other languages
support (might be viewed as a stronger political argument).
That would take someone
1) who really really cares and has lot's of time on their hands
2) is paid to do that job so they're motivated to keep pushing
politically (Without clear communication)
3) really needs to get that fixed for the job
None of which seems to me we're making it easy for people without
time of their hands to make contribution. Spending hours-days
writing a DIP or pull request that doesn't get the attention it
deserves can be very demoralizing (undervalued). Even anything as
simple as an idea, especially (or at least) coming from a very
technical person, deserves some attention and clear
feedback/communication. I've seen people quit their job after
such experiences...and that's a PAID job.
Looks to me like running away from responsibility or like I've
been saying, a missing hand needed to bridge that gap.
