I see the TDPL as having the same role as the C++ ARM did.

For those that don't know this book, Bjarne and Margaret wrote as an attempt
to have the first written specifcation of how CFront behaved and what was
expected by C++ compilers.

There is also no versioning. D2 is definitely different from D1 in the

Please file bug reports for any errors/omissions in the specification on
bugzilla.
That's the whole point. It's not clear what the actual specification IS.
Is it DMD, dlang.org or TDPL?
