Does the D2 command prompt that comes with DMD do this?

Taking a pass through the whole db is a worthy thing to do, but to reduce the enormous time cost of that, focusing on the regression-major set (ie, saving normal and below) would 'only' be 500ish bugs that have a reasonable urgency to them.

DMD doesn't come with a "D2 command prompt", I don't know what that might be.

Digital Mars C++ bug reports can be filed here:
