the aforementioned sweet language features will get implemented more rapidly.
If Walter, Andrei and others agree with my proposal, i suggest to postpone all
enhancement requests for D, except compatibility-related ones and direct all our
attention to it.

Most of the attention is already going to DMD.
On git, to date:
DMD pull requests: 401
Phobos pull requests: 272
Druntime pull requests: 74
I find this quite surprising. DMD benefited enormously in moving from
svn to git. Phobos development seems to have scarcely changed.
