Require a verbose changelog entry for all enhancement bugs #178

@wilzbach

Description

@wilzbach

tl;dr: we should start treating enhancement "bugs" as new features and promote them as such to the users. They won't open the bug link, but will see a full text changelog notice.
Motivation: dlang/dmd#6880 (comment)

Looking at the current changelog from https://dlang.org/changelog/pending.html

They all should have received a proper changelog entry. It can be a short one.
Most of them even do, but the following ones were missed:

  • Implement contracts without implementation.
  • Cannot initialise contextless delegate at compile time
  • Parameter type mismatch error message are not very helpful
  • datetime toString functions should accept sink
  • std.format.formattedRead should work with rvalues

and of course some "enhancements" were actually bugs
