For me, the fundamental issue with it was the design - use tagged
variants or virtual functions? I agree with you that without a decision
on that, proceeding with an implementation is not worth the effort.
BTW, one issue is nearing resolution. D will soon provide a dll for
phobos for Linux, and it is intended to migrate this to all platforms,
which will resolve the ODR problem.
Well that is nice for you, but for my use cases this will most likely
not work, and thus I'm just going to continue maintaining my own version
of druntime. For example I'm reloading classes at runtime which happens
via a dll. As a result the TypeInfo of that class will exist twice (if
you reload once) because the dll with the new class binary will contain
the new TypeInfo object and thus violating the ODR. For a in depth
explanation see: http://3d.benjamin-thaut.de/?p=25
