In lieu of a clear roadmap, I'm just going to list the things actively
holding me up on a daily basis.
Others encouraged to add theirs, maybe we'll see patterns emerge.

1. Options to select CRT reference for DMD-Win64, and /Zl equiv option to
omit any such reference.
2. **Debugging**; concerted focus to tighten the experience. Classes,
enums, globals (and more) all don't work. Locals with the same name
appearing in multiple sub-scope's within the same function confuse the
debugger. Control statements (break, continue, etc) don't seem to emit line
numbers; single stepping skips right over them.
3. ref doesn't accept rvalues. Can't declare ref locals (pointers change
semantics).

These above anything else are interfering with my work every day.

What are yours?

What are the bugzilla numbers for these?

It would be nice to see this problem solved in an acceptable way. I came across it again recently when writing source files generated from C++, and realised my best course of action at the moment is probably to write 'auto ref const(T)' in my generated code in place of 'ref const(T).'

#3 remains an ongoing debate...

If you do work with vectors or matrices, you will encounter it every few minutes :)

Thanks!

This would be my request for 2.066

1.  Resolve grammar issues (https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10233)

2.  Move TypeInfo to the D Runtime as articulated here (http://forum.dlang.org/post/eiwalbqlbkipdrmsrfoh@forum.dlang.org).  No bug report yet (that I'm aware of) as I think it needs a little more critique.

3.  All pull requests older than 6 months acted upon, or closed
