Maybe Kenji and others have fixed one important bug:

On GitHub there are many open pull requests for dmd, and some of them look quite interesting (even if some of them probably need to be improved):

This allows to support a[$-1, 2..$], it's useful to implement a good vector library in D:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/443

To improve the type merging in array literals:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/684

__ctfeWrite and __ctfeWriteln, I'm asking for a better compile time printing since years:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/692

Taking the address of a deprecated function should trigger a deprecated message, etc:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1064

This is for a small but handy change in D that allows to write "new C().foo();" instead of "(new C()).foo();".
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1111

Support for T() syntax for build-in types. This avoids to use an ugly cast() in some cases:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1356

Overloading template and non-template functions:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1409

With value range propagation we can disable some array bound tests:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1493

To improve the use of template functions in different modules:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1660

Recursive build for the compiler:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1861

To make D more flexible, allowing the idea of a library-defined dup:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1943

Bye,

This one would be really good for DWT.

That's quite a nice bunch of enhancements in the pipeline.

Wow, lot of good stuff implemented and just waiting for approval. Impressive.

Isn't it better to merge these before DDMD?
