So true. My ideas on how to write code have changed
dramatically over the years, and continue to change.
I hear the advantages of the way D does it.
But nobody wants to hear about the disadvantages.
Am I the only one who needs to keep an 'open mind'?
What harm can come, from an optional tool, that enables
enforceable encapsulation of a type, within a module (from code
also in the module, but outside that type)?
Can someone please answer that?
And yet again, I remind people that this is not a request for
change. This is a discussion about what benefit such a tool can
bring.
