Of course it is :).
I tried to list the arguments I found in the thread and replied
to them, trying to lead a proper discussion.
- why not X instead
Aren't alternative ideas welcome?
Yes they are. There was quite some chances to bring them up,
maybe this needs more room for comments.
Go for it and try to find a consensus. I don't think the
issue is big enough to warrant a huge design and bikeshedding
discussion.
Some don't agree with you.
The price of discussing syntax, introducing an alternative (e.g.
`import std.algorithm : { find, findSplit }`, and rewriting most
D code is quite high.
That's your opinion.
Yes, and it's an opinion that isn't reflected in the thread.
You seem overly eager to save some typing, and the expense of
comprehension.
I don't get it. That's what bring programming languages into
disrepute.
Reread what I wrote, you'll find that I make a distinction
between scripting/hacking and programming.
This doesn't seem that trivial based on the discussion.
It said seemed, so it might have been a wrong assessment.
But I still think we have quite heavy topics on our plate, @nogc,
@safe, phobos quality, dub infrastructure and this still seems
like a very tiny change to me.
Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality, because
this is certainly easier to grasp than
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1282
(https://forum.dlang.org/post/mjsma6$196h$1...@digitalmars.com) for
which getting feedback is extremely tedious.
I've learnt a lot from looking at imports used.
Interesting, you have a good example?
