As much as I'd like D to develop sweet language features like named

because if D gets cheaper and cheaper to use with existing code base,
more and more people will start caring about D and 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. As well as direct more
attention towards fixing DMD bugs, rather then developing phobos
libraries, because as much as developing phobos is important, having
a stable compiler is much more important.
