Attached are some patches that don't fix any bugs but introduce new features,
well and maybe some bugs to.

Consider those patches as part of a kind of D playground and not of the branded
standard.

1) array[length] -> array[__length]
2) version=linux; version=Windows; etc are forbidden
3) treat non-breaking spaces outside of litterals as plain spaces
4) disallow empty statements like ";;"
5) version(!Windows)

etc.

By the way I noticed that David(gdc) and Anders(gdc-packages) use different
parts / versions of the HTML / line ending fixes.

The current complete version is:
digitalmars.D.bugs/2548
( There are minor details like formating error messages and the like.)

Wouldn't _length be more consistant with _arguments and _argptr ?

 2) version=linux; version=Windows; etc are forbidden


I've added a few more predefined versions to the page at:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DocComments/Version

 3) treat non-breaking spaces outside of litterals as plain spaces


excellent! I write nbsp all the time, with my Swedish keyboard...

The only downside is that it makes the files non-ASCII,
which isn't a problem for D but could be a nasty habit. ;-)

 4) disallow empty statements like ";;"


Neat, mixes well with the disallowed "while (1);" statement

 5) version(!Windows)


So much better than "version (Windows) { } else" workaround

 By the way I noticed that David(gdc) and Anders(gdc-packages) use different
 parts / versions of the HTML / line ending fixes.


The HTML-freezeup patch is something of a necessity...

I'm trying to get all my patches upstream to David,
hoping that his patches makes it upstream to Walter ?


I added a few patches to the digitialmars.D.bugs group,
like fixing main's return value and making the Phobos
unittest run by finally fixing the broken std.format...

It's very simple to change "__length" to "_length".
I used "__length" because my code doesn't contain any "length" but only
"_length"...

GNU and PPC64 seem to be missing.

Argh, I included the wrong patch. This one containts an obvious name typo.

Let's see.
