Well, that could be an issue, but it is not likely to change
fast or frequently so I don't think it is a high risk approach.
The issue is twofold: it requires us to follow upstream changes
(the case you are thinking of), but also provides us from making
non backward-compatible downstream changes (meaning we can't
change it as we see fit if we realize there is potential for
optimization).
In any case, if you feel like it's worth it @Ola, you could
start to look into what it takes (druntime/dmd wise) and start
to submit PR.
There is no point unless there is consensus. You first need to
get consensus otherwise it is means throwing time into the
garbage bin.
Waiting on "consensus" is an easy way to avoid doing any kind of
work :)
I'm fairly sure most large achievements that have been undertaken
by people in this community (that were not W&A) have been done
without their (W&A's) blessing. People just went ahead and did
it. But obviously those people cared more about getting things
done than spending time discussing it on the forums.
