I'm looking forward to that. Recently I've been working on a compute-intensive program, and I've been hoping to test it with gdc to get maximal performance, but since I developed the code mainly with dmd git HEAD, it doesn't compile with gdc, which is rather frustrating. It would be great if the three compilers are always in sync -- if gdc could, for example, just pull straight from DFE git HEAD and Just Work(tm). T -- "The number you have dialed is imaginary.
