14835 is a blocker due to the nature of the solution that 
Walter and Andrei approved (which I agree is the right one); 
an independent implementation would run in to the same problem.


Great news!


Only if that blocker is dealt with - otherwise it's just wasted 
effort...

My understanding is Thomas has an attack on 259 once a

So it would be great to get the super annoying

and it seems the similarly annoying 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14835 is in the way.


If anyone would like to look into the latter that would be 
great. Good regression testing (e.g. on dub projects) would be 
necessary.
