One proposal is to make char and dchar comparisons illegal
(after all,
they are comparing different things - an UTF-8 code unit with
a code
point, and even though in some cases this comparison makes
sense, in
many it doesn't). That would solve most silent breakages at
the
expense of more not-so-silent breakages.

Shameless self-promotion alert: An alternative is a GitHub
fork. You
can easily install and try out D forks with Digger, it's two
commands:
digger build master+jmdavis/phobos/noautodecode
digger install
Oooh, Jonathan has the code ready? Haha, maybe I'll start using
that
instead of git master! ;-)

I second that! If we all make the switch, perhaps Walter will
too? :D
