digitalmars.D - Just give me one good reason why I can't instantiate an abstract class

Pretty please.

As in, tell me which function I'm not implementing. (You only have to
tell me one. I'm patient. I can fix them one at a time).

But right now it just says "Unable to instantiate abstract class" or
some such, and no clue whatsoever as to which function is missing.

This has obviously been requested many times before. Any ETA?

yes, and this problem became worse with D2. const is now one more way to
change the signature.

WTH?? In D you don't have to declare an abstract class as abstract (ie, 
using the abstract keyword)? (à la Java)

Nope. Although whether this is an actually useful "feature" is a different
question.
