All review-related feedback on and discussion of the DIP should occur in
this thread. Due to DConf taking place during the review period, the
period will be extended by a week. The review period will end at 11:59
PM ET on May 15 (3:59 AM GMT May 16), or when I make a post declaring it
complete.

At the end of Round 1, if further review is deemed necessary, the DIP
will be scheduled for another round. Otherwise, it will be queued for
the formal review and evaluation by the language authors.

Thanks in advance to all who participate.

Destroy!

How is this supposed to be used?

* Take the example of the recent __cmp addition to object.d, would we
say: "this PR has to wait one year because we need to add the @future
attribute and let users update their code"?

Mitigation:

version(none) {
        void foo() {
                ...
        }
} else {
        @future
        void foo();
}
