Yeah, there are many features that could have been implemented

What's the status of that DIP?
It exists, pretty much all. No proof of concept implementation
and no official approval so far. Community discussion was not
really active either - most likely because it does not seem very
realistic to expect it implemented.
What's the process by which something like that would even get
added to D?
Usually it comes to providing DMD pull request that implements
the DIP and than convincing Walter/Andrei it is worth merging.
Most likely change will still be rejected but without PR chances
are close zero.
