Walter, I know you like working with the current backend and you understand it etc..., but this gives dmd a bus factor of 1 and is slowing down code in the process.
Honestly, I don't feel this is too strong an issue. The point of dmd is to be a reference compiler -- speed is nice if it's possible, but not the most important consideration.
The most important thing is that new frontend updates can get merged quickly into ldc/gdc, so that there is no time lag between new feature development and their incorporation into other compilers.
