Nice!! --Bastiaan.

Top-level win{32,64}.mak and legacy src/win{32,64}.mak files (for DigitalMars make) have been removed altogether. The generic top-level Makefile works on Windows too - with a GNU make (and a git installation providing bash and GNU tools). Wow!

Since 2023 was a year of language stabilization and bug fixes, it might be good for someone to do a blog post on what was accomplished. Even something short and simple would be good. Also, I saw this in the change log and it might need to get revised: "If you do not care about code generation quality should the aliases to the function names not exist, you may append _impl to get at the implementation."
