And almost exactly six hours ago:

 On the other hand, currently there are many D2 features that are
 unfinished and buggy, so adding even more stuff is not a good idea.
 And I think named arguments are a purely additive change. So Walter
 may add them later when the current features are implemented well
 enough. Currently it's much more important to focus on eventually
 needed non-additive changes instead.

Hope you agree with yourself :o).

Yeah well, for Bearophile, feature requests seem to be practically like 
breathing - no matter how much he tries, he can't stop doing it. ;)

The  tagged attribute for unions is an additive change. Even if you don't
implement it now, people have the freedom to design and think about it.

You should put your skills into practice. I'd love to experiment with an
experimental "BearD" branch.  Would speed up D3 development a lot if
DigitalMars could cherry pick the best parts.

Probably my skills are not good enough to implement most of the things I have
suggested (I know biology)  :-)

I hope this forum still can be used to discuss aditive changues. We 
don't expect Walter et all to rest after the first stable version of 
D2 :P
