--- Comment #29 from Mathias LANG <[email protected]> ---
There are way too many examples (some of which have been addressed, many still
valid) for this to be actionable. A proper proposal would most likely take a
lot of time and go through the DIP process, as it is a fundamental change to
the grammar (regardless of its validity).

Trivial items such as protection attributes on class inheritance and redundant
attributes have been addressed.

Some items are also documented here:

To address this specific point: DMD being lax, while unsettling to some, is
also great for generic code. There are quite a lot of cases where DMD being
stricter would result in worst code because it would require some special
casing in generic code.

Closing as INVALID.
