For me there is already a "between user defined types" in the following sentence:

"D strives to prevent implicit conversions between user defined types at all costs."

Is that not clear enough?

It is. I was commenting from memory rather than re-reading it. My mistake.

This statement kind of worries me:

> It seems like every minor release of D works different than previous ones.

Why would you release a version if it wasn't different from the previous?

It would be nice if one could give the oldest known working compiler, but there are still changes to old behavior which means some code would have more specific compiler versions needed.

Work is being done, but the issue will exist for some time so process to make it less painful is being put in place.

One of the article says that only one AliasThis is allowed per type, which is only half the truth. Multiple AliasThis are meant to be allowed by the language but has not been implemented.

Thanks for the information, didn't know that. Still I like to only advertise things that are already working.
