I don't think Walter will fix that bug.
So you suspect that he's going to leave D until the end of time as a
language that cannot be implemented by third parties because the spec is
incomplete?
If you think that bug is important for you,
And if I don't _think_ that it's important for _me_, but _know_ that
it's important to _the community_, then what?
then I suggest you to find other people that agree with you, and
write down the specs yourself (and then maybe Walter will read your
document to tell you how to fix its errors).
By "errors", do you mean:
* obvious typos?
* bits that don't coincide with how DMD does things?
* bits that don't coincide with how Walter intended it?
* bits that don't coincide with Walter's current opinion?
* something else?
This is the most voted bug, one of those votes is mine, but now I am
not so sure Walter takes a look at the vote counts when he fixes
bugs:
