I appreciate all of this... however, as a newcomer, I wish the docs were simply more honest, instead of representing wishful thinking. I guess in any programming language, experience reveals things not present in the docs, but it seems to apply much more acutely here.
Technically, those pages are [the spec rather than documentation](https://dlang.org/spec/spec.html).
This is the specification for the D Programming Language.
I've been bitten by that a few times over the years, though to be honest, I'm not sure of the relationship of the spec to documentation. The Phobos documentation and compiler documentation appear to be actual documentation, in the sense that you can trust it to be accurate, and if not it's a bug. Maybe someone that has been around from the earliest days understands the goal of the spec.
