Greetings!

Has anyone written any quick program to convert d1 code to d2?  I 
believe it will be a fine piece of program. :-)  Thanks.

It is surprisingly difficult, to the point of being almost 
impossible, to write such program. Problem is there are no simple 
1-to-1 replacements for some of D1 concepts (like const storage 
class or array stomping) and adding const qualifiers 
automatically would require to effectively implement D1 compiler 
semantic stage with full code flow analysis. Combined, those 2 
issues make creating such program hardly feasible.

I will speaker about it in details in my DConf presentation 
(http://dconf.org/2015/talks/strasuns.html)

Very interesting.  It's like another complete language all by 
itself. :-)  Thanks.
