Y'know, one feature I've always wanted is the equivalent of preprocessed C code -- with all mixins expanded, aliases substituted with their final target, templates fully expanded, all syntactic sugar lowered, with the original code lines in comments, so that you can see exactly how your code was translated, and whether it matches what you *think* it does. This would also be invaluable for debugging, as then it will map to the assembly code much better, which will help you trace where things went wrong.
I do this with a debug build of the compiler. Using --b will give you the expression trees sent to the back end.
