Re: D as A Better C?

[Sean Kelly]

This would certainly be a useful feature to have when porting, 
and Walter clearly uses it himself.  Assuming this can be done 
with minimal work, I'd say make it a DMD thing rather than a D 
thing in general.  Like -profile.  And add a switch to enable it 
in the front-end if possible.  Then DMD (and potentially the 
other compilers) will have the feature in case anyone finds it 
useful and we can move on.  Call it -minimal.

I have a feeling we've already spent more time talking about this 
than Walter would have spent implementing it anyway, so it's 
already taking time away from other things.  Let's just give it a 
nod and move on.
