Thanks for cooperation. I don't want to sound like I've given the
right to ask for features, because I am working on a particular D

I found many things that I would like to be improved.

Unfortunately we can't fix all of that stuff mostly because we wouldn't
know what path is best to take. But we can and should fix this:
class Test { void foo(); void foo() {} }
and this:
6) Various, various compiler bugs. I'm not joking here, I hit dmd
bugs every single day I work on qtd. It makes it very difficult to
cut down to sensible testcases, because of the size of the library. I
filed some bugs, I used all my votes in bugzilla, but neither of
those got any update within last 2 months. That's a pity. I am sure
many other people have similar experience.
The main one is probably forward references bug. That's why I have to
use patched version of dmd (done not by me). Work on it is still in
progress, and when the author of the patches finishes it and submits
them to the bugzilla, we would need apply them somehow, as otherwise
official dmd will not compile QtD.
Absolutely.
Thanks for letting us know of the challenges you're facing. I hope many
of them would be the start of discussions on how to improve things in D3.
