It's not easy to find people, especially for tasks like this; I'm 
just curious is all.

Hi,
I had this questions myself, so I played with it a couple of 
weeks ago. It was my first dive into the dmd codebase and it 
shows. It is super hackish.
Anyway, I was able to get something which passed my tests in like 
2 days, but I'm not even sure there is anything salvageable from 
that work, as it is full of debug printf statements and global 
variables that just shows I had no idea what I was doing :)

Max Haughton began an implementation, but I believe it's 
currently stalled. He can provide more info.

I've resurrected/restarted it, and will be working on it tonight 
as soon as I've got this __traits(arguments) thing for Adam 
finished. The issue is supporting all the edge cases.

Well, it's good to see some work is/was actually in progress. 
Feels bad to have DIPs accepted and then forgotten for a long 
time, especially for such useful features.
