Nobody *ever* bootstraps a compiler using all it's features.
Completely bogus argument. What was common was to implement a
small subset in another language and use that subset for the main
compiler, to simplify porting to new architectures.
This argument has no useful value since D that would make D stuck
on the C++ version of DMD. And it is pointless when you have
cross compilers and VMs.
