The issue here, as stated by Andrei, which I fully agree with,
is that D is fighting for its own life. We have no choice but
to improve the process, otherwise D will never grow past the
current point it is at and will eventually fade away into
obscurity.
This is a do or die situation IMO.

Sorry, that came out in an overly bleak way. The really REALLY
good news, is that D has grown to the point where we are being
forced to adapt to the growth. What we're hoping to achieve is
a way that removes the limiters that are holding D back from
further growth.
The "do or die" scenario only happens if D cannot continue to
grow, and other competing languages take over, like Rust and
perhaps Go. That's the only dire part to pay attention to, the
optimistic point being that we are forced to grow because of
D's success, not because of its failures.

A much simpler way to state the current situation is that we're
in fact experiencing a "good problem"!
