Though they don't hold me up, I don't see why the following haven't been dealt with:
https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4147
https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=704
The latter to a lesser extent since it is not clear whether it is simply an invalid report.

I'd also like: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11788

I just wrote a comment in there... I'm not sure it is a bug (nor is it restricted to templates)

I'd just like to point out for everyone in this conversation that you can vote for issues in bugzilla. The vote tally is a much easier way for the people who work on the compiler to quantify what the community wants from D.

I don't know how much the major compiler devs use the votes for making decisions but at least it'd less ephemeral than these forum posts that will be gone and forgotten in a day or two.

Here's the issue list sorted by votes:

I should reiterate my request to add more bugzilla votes available to people (e.g. 10). I recall Don protested this the first time around, but a lot of things have improved since (and I didn't agree with his arguments in the first place).

Current quota is 10.

I also recommend that a user be allowed to assign more than one vote per issue.  See "Maximum votes a person can put on a single bug" here (http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/voting.html)

I created an enhancement request here: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/post_bug.cgi.  Go ahead and vote for it!

I'm skeptical that votes actually influence action, but they do provide a nice metric for gauging impact, importance, and value to the community.

Yah, I thought it's 5... anyhow it's insufficient as it is.

It should inform our bountysource assignments.

Looks like it's here (https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9238).  Only 2 votes, though.

We're discussing this stuff since years and I'm pretty sure that in exactly one year we will discuss this again. ;)

Make it possible to defined implicit conversions between wrapped types in order to, for instance, correctly implement NotNull for reference types. See:
