The page does not work in Firefox 2.0, or Safari 2.0.1. The select box is too narrow, and no choises can be made in it. I also would like to suggest the possibility to merge suggestion. The current suggestions "Pascal like sets", and "Finite sets" are for all practical matters the same. I am responsible for the, in my opinion inferior description, "Pascal like sets". // Fredrik Olsson

Ooh, and three more things? 1. What is the proper channel for making suggestions to the person(s) responsible for the poll? 2. How an comments be made to suggestions? Both public and to the author? And example is for the suggestion named "Array masking", where I would like to explain how an addition of finite sets combined with extension of array slicing would solve that specific problem, as well as other problem domains in a more general way. 3. It would be nice to split suggestions into "additions", and "extensions". To separate what is completely new ideas, from ideas that are just improvements on current features. // Fredrik Olsson

Hi

I just handed in my master treatise, so I hadn't had much time to follow D
development in the last 9 months.

Before starting my next project (A D killer app :-) i would like 
to make a cleanup in the wishlist. 

So, if you have suggestions for what should be removed the post it here.
