I've been meaning to chime in here, but forgot until now.  My vote is to
just get 64-bit support working and out the door before we worry about
anything else besides maybe regressions.  I and a few other people are
really looking forward to this, and I get the impression (correct me if
I'm wrong, Walter) that 80-90% of the work is already done.  If so,
let's finish the last 10-20% now instead of constantly getting
sidetracked and worry about fixes for non-showstopper bugs later.

Of course bugs in Phobos/druntime, as opposed to DMD, can be fixed in
parallel with finishing DMD's 64 support.  In Phobos/druntime, I suggest
working on const correctness where feasible.  Lack of const correctness
in certain parts of Phobos/druntime often hinders development of other
parts.  Where const correctness isn't feasible within the language as it
currently stands, I think we should start thinking about tweaks to the
language to make it feasible.  I've already proposed a few things.  I'd
like others to do the same.

After 64-bit support works reasonably well, my vote is to focus on bugs
related to alias this and inout.  These are especially annoying because
they can require workarounds at the design/macro level, not just the
micro level.

        I've got a suggestion for the next release: a concentration on
        fixing bugs in
        dmd that require work arounds in druntime and phobos.  To that
        end, would those
        of you who work on the two put together your top 3-5 annoying
        dmd bugs?

        Thanks,
