I'd just like to point out for everyone in this conversation that
you can vote for issues in bugzilla. The vote tally is a much
easier way for the people who work on the compiler to quantify
what the community wants from D.
I don't know how much the major compiler devs use the votes for
making decisions but at least it'd less ephemeral than these
forum posts that will be gone and forgotten in a day or two.
Here's the issue list sorted by votes:
