I'm sorry, this probably came across as rude, but the answer for why not
do it the right way is simply that the right way takes time and I don't
feel like putting it in. Apparently not very many other people do
either, since we've had the status quo for a long time now.
A quick helper app can be slapped together in a fraction of the time of
a more proper fix.
I don't think the comeback was rude because many great improvements to D
came exactly this way - pull requests followed through by talented and
interested contributors. On the other hand, if I were to criticize
anything, Adam has a lot of great work brought to the proof-of-concept
stage but not finalized. It would be great if we had some more finalized
things.
