Thank you for the great work, Walter and all the other contributors.
But I am a bit disappointed with the CaseRangeStatement syntax.
Why is it
case 0: .. case 9:
instead of
case 0 .. 9:
With the latter notation, ranges can be easily used together with
commas, for example:
case 0, 2 .. 4, 6 .. 9:
And CaseRangeStatement, being inconsistent with other syntaxes using
the .. operator, i.e. slicing and ForeachRangeStatement, includes the
endpoint.
Shouldn't D make use of another operator to express ranges that
include the endpoints as Ruby or Perl6 does?
I agree.
I think this syntax is yet another one of those things people looking at
D will say "ugly" and turn their heads away.
And what did those people use when they wanted to express a range of
case labels? In other words, where did those people turn their heads
towards?
