Walter,

There are so many projects on which I would deploy DMC++ but can't because they
require pieces of Boost and other high-end C++ libraries.  There are so many
people to whom I recommend DMC++ who then come back at me with the same
complaint.

DMC++ already has pretty good namespace support.  Is it really a bear to get the
full-up namespaces in there?  What is the hardest part of that work?  Do you
have a guesstimate on a timeframe?

It seems like DMC++ has lots of C99 features that no one uses yet, while still
lacking the namespace support that everyone needs.  I love the C99 stuff too but
the namespace problem is killing me...

One more: 
IMO it would make more sense to first concentrate on making DMC++ 
standard compliant than to spend time in a new D language.

D and C++ can help each other.  Attracting more users to DMC++ is a simple way
to attract more users to D.  The quality of the DMC++ compiler is also something
that will attract people to D.

Sorry about that. I had promised to fix some problems with D first. I don't
really know how hard yet it will be to fix all the namespace issues. I did
the C99 stuff because they were both easy, nobody else had done them, and
some of the back end work needed to be done for D anyway.

Am pretty sure its not news, but the lack of member-templates is quite a
hassle. In fact, later versions of the compiler seem to work with some
member-templates, but not all.

I'll narrow this down and post an example.

8.29 should work with all member templates. I need an example of any bugs.
