std.typecons is a little treasure trove of stuff nobody can find
or knows about. I think tuple should be promoted to its own
module too (which would help alleviate some of the confusion new
users have with std.typetuple as well).
* Review all of Phobos for hidden allocations and make
appropriate decisions on how to give the user more control over
allocation. I have some idea on how that can be done, at
various disruption costs.
I ran Johannes Pfau's work-in-progress -vgc [1] while building
Phobos back in June. Here are the now out of date results:
http://goo.gl/HP78r I'm sure plenty is missing in there (I think
allocations inside templates that aren't instiated aren't
included).
* Get Robert Schadek's precise GC in. Walter and I have become
101% convinced a precise GC is the one way to go about GC.
I'm up to my neck in D work for Facebook so my time is well
spent. We must definitely up the ante in terms of development
speed, and pronto.

All of this sounds great.
