And many of the extreme changes don't actually add/remove/fix any bugs in the compiler: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/63e61f160784649cf2cbd1267aaf26e2a2468e73 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/fb35735132b73dadfde43778d16d014280f997ec https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/f7330f62dfd6033f69016432b1600e3f1d85b289 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/964183a0f3f8c8c8e8ee8e086dd4fd7313cf4b49 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/a5f62b9edbdea548f247b2c400879e97848b5a8d https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/3f196316c516d96991b21e3e6a7b5c6e072857c9 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/152e480ee51c9dfb24f6b7435b6d199b58129ec6 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/338fe87587610bd700b9bd2e7bc614cbb5330602 These alone will take about 8 weeks to deal with, partly because of my limited time, partly because of the mundanity of doing the conversions. Doing these individual glue changes one at a time before 2.066-proper seems like a reasonable thing to do rather than trying to do all at once. And any patches to do such conversions would be welcome. Iain.
