Please note that some of us don't have kill files and really
don't wish to be inundated with "D Wishlist" articles.  I have a
passing interest in a new-neat-wonderful language, but an awful
lot of postings in the last round of D discussions were really
silly suggestions by those who have no clue on language design
(note that I have only a very small clue on language design but
I know enough not to post).

Good luck on your mailing list :-).
