2.068 - resolve remaining regressions and release
2.069 - translate to D. No new features, no refactoring. Only
regression fixes and what's already in HEAD. This should give
us a solid baseline. It also means that open PRs that address
other issues will not be pulled for 2.069.
Perhaps we should name this 2.100, to signify such a milestone.
2.101+ -
1. Take advantage of D features to improve quality.
2. Go to full lazy semantic analysis of imports, rather than
the current "analyze them all"
3. Rethink what "speculative instantiation" of templates means
so we can have a coherent process of compiling them.
4. Redo CTFE interpreter so it only rarely needs to allocate
memory. This was already done for constant folding, but now
it's time for the rest of the interpreter.
5. Get rid of reliance on the global error count. This has
been mostly done, it just hast to be finished.
6. Convert the back end to D as well.

I believe that migrating the the development of the compiler from
C++ to D will have extremely positive effect to to the whole
language and ecosystem. We should make this our number one
priority!
@WalterBright and the other core developers:
Can you make a TODO list of what needs to be done to make this
happen?
Is this list in bugzilla complete?
