And it is not 'waste of time'. Me and my fellow students use D
as early as the second Semester for almost all university
projects. But as '(pre) compiler' we use Remus just because we
miss some features, such as not-null references, since the
first week. And it's a damn good exercise to understand, how a
compiler works. :)
I can see the value in testing ideas out in practice. I cannot
see C++ style namespaces being all that useful given that there
are much better alternatives already available, non-nullable
references and AST macros would be very nice to try out. Wish
we had these features in the real D right now.

I like them. But if so many people against them, I can implement
a voting to deprecate this feature. Not-null references are
already available.
