Which is why we should not let it pass. Why didn't this
feature go through the usual DIP process?
All I can say for sure is what was said in the PR linked in
another post:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/6589
Based on the comments in the PR, Walter initially opposed it
because he didn't like how it looked, but he said nothing after
that. However, later, Andrei comments on the PR and thought
that it was simply a fix for the current syntax and that it
didn't need a DIP and thus approved it. I have no idea if he
talked to Walter about it or not, but there is nothing in the
PR to indicate that Walter ever changed his mind.
Heh, I just looked at who voted for and against in the first
comment, by pressing and holding each icon, and it shows Walter
voting both for and against it! :D
