Thanks, Martin!

Looks like 9 DMD regressions fixed and 69 DMD bugs fixed!

(It's hard to tell because the changelog won't render properly on Chrome.)

Should be something for everyone in it :-)

Thanks for the shout out, it's taken years to get it adopted by dmd. :-)

One unfortunate sideeffect of allMembers change is that it breaks this king of loop:
```
foreach(m; __traits(allMembers, M)) { // M is module
    alias member = __traits(getMember, M, m); // now fails because std.stdio is not a member of M
}
```

To fix I needed to rewrite it as:
```
foreach(m; __traits(allMembers, M)) { // M is module
    static if (__traits(compiles, __traits(getMember, M, m)))
        alias member = __traits(getMember, M, m);
}
```

The first part of the change seems disruptive. If you just fix the second part (that you can now retrieve all members of std), doesn't it fix the problem?

The dub change allowing git repository is HUGE !

This allows us to use a private git repository instead of having to have the repo already cloned to a specified path on the filesystem.

Main problem is that allMembers returns strings and you can't tell if member is an import from it. If it returned aliases then you could do is(m == module), etc.

It's always been string, and should always be.

But I don't know of another case where it returns something that can't be passed to getMember. You should be able to use getMember on "std", and then getMember on that with "stdio". Just like any other nested thing.

It would be just as confusing as if you had:

struct S
{
   int foo;
}

and __traits(allMembers, mod) contained "S.foo".

BTW, when I wrote that first response, I didn't realize that __traits(allMembers, std) returns... a lot of stuff. the whole mechanism seems like it doesn't do what I would expect.

the technic to filter out is:

```
foreach(m; __traits(allMembers, M)) { // M is module
  static if (!is(mixin(m) == module))
    static if (!is(mixin(m) == package))
{
  ....
}
```

BTW this is not a side-effect. This is the desired effect. That worked previously because the allmembers tuple was incorrect.

Imports need to be fully qualified in the resulting tuple.

having `import std.stdio;` and just "std" in the tuple was a bug. I mean this is not an opinion it worked like that by error, the special case for imports was not considered so "std" slipped in the result while it should always have been "std.stdio".
