I appreciate everybody's contributions to D but that is not an

Normally, regressions are fixed as quickly as possible.
I have a feeling that there must have been some newsgroup

I also have to say that I fail to see the logic.
Breaking changes to fix long standing languages issue are often
refused because it is bad to break code, but it is allowed ot
break syntax that causes no issue.
