I'm not going to argue this much further. Essentially Mir is
touted as a highly generic and portable library. Having it
only work on one language implementation works against that
statement, the credibility of Mir, and the credibility of D as
an universal platform for creating fast code.
Just let dmd die.
This so-called "reference implementation" makes people suffer
because of code portability and another differences between the
compilers (e.g. compiler building, compiler's command line
arguments, compiler's extensions).
