Agreed. Tons of code would break for me if Filter stopped working. I'd
have to either skip this release or manually patch Phobos on all 4 of
the DMD installations I have on various work and personal machines.
Doing without Filter for a release is simply not an option for me.

Then it sounds like the changes to filter() should be reverted for this release
and then restored before the next release with the compiler bug having been
fixed. Personally, I found it _highly_ disruptive to have most of the forward
ranges break with 2.047, and I sure don't want to have to tell my co-workers who
are trying out D that they have to use the svn version of Phobos (and in this
case, telling them to use the svn version wouldn't even fix the problem since
it's an as-yet unfixed compiler bug). I have no problem with improvements to
filter() or anything else in Phobos, but I think that we should avoid changes
that break things in releases.
