Some people wanted it, some people didn't. That's life. That's
true for every DIP, sometimes weighted in one direction over the
other. You can read the feedback and discussion threads to see
what specific points were made for and against the DIP.
The DIP fails to provide a rationale as to why
std.array.staticArray is insufficient.
yeah, always STD people the problem...
I don't know what that means, but the DIP author agreed that the
criticism you've quoted was valid. He felt he was unable to
counter it sufficiently and therefore would be unable to make a
valid case for the DIP.
The DIP has been withdrawn, not rejected. So if you feel strongly
enough about it and you think you can provide a convincing
motivation for implementing it in preference to the existing
library solution, please get in touch with me.
