The recent thread about how to solve the problem of odd looking function attributes gave me an idea to have a page that explains why certain decisions were made in the language. Instead of having to write a long thought out response every time someone asks a question who isn't aware of previous discussion, you can respond with a link to the page.

I've created such a page in the wiki!

http://wiki.dlang.org/Language_Designs_Explained

Currently the explanations are in the form of FAQ. I left one question unanswered since I don't know the answer so I encourage someone who does to check it out and fill it in :)

Since a wiki page is not the same as a forum post, I would like to encourage people who add questions and answers to be as detailed as necessary. No one wants to read a novel but every detail you leave out will end up making someone come back to the forums to ask about whatever was missing from the page.
