Is this likely to get fixed or is it more likely to drift along as an
unfixed issue?

I am not discommoded by this, it is a matter of codebase style. 

Thanks.

If Kenji cannot fix it, it doesn't look good for getting fixed... It would be nice, but I agree with the statement that it shouldn't force the creation of a new delegate type. -Steve

There is _absolutely no reason whatsoever_ to think about creation of a new delegate type. The entire argument around performance implications for existing code and creation of new delegate types is completely nonsensical and both David and Martin have already pointed this out.

Because he's a D superstar?

You should speak up on the bug report, at the very least to share your opinion, which many people value. -Steve

Hmm, the multicontext array looks complicated, see a simpler
