Well, then a list of what's still missing should be compiled (in
terms of features and language changes, not in terms of bugs). An
rush to complete it.
Some of the issues were discussed since many months, and no
definitive decision has been taken (see the @property).
I am rather in favor of taking a decision, good or bad, than to
prolonge ambiguity. Also for several minor issues (ie: double[$]
static arrays and __MODULE__ identifier and so on).
For those, I would like to see a more accelerated pace.
I even start thinking that is better to release a new feature
after a relative short, preliminary discussion, and be prepared
to change it during a time frame, if it is not as practical as
desired, instead of prolonging a discussion for centuries in the
search of the perfect implementation.
