RazvanN <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #12 from RazvanN <[email protected]> --- 1. The primary purpose of the import keyword is to import other modules. Since its meaning is tied to importing text files, it makes sense to return a string. If you want to read files of arbitrary types, std.file.read should be used. 2. This particular semantic of the import keyword is not widely spread. I, personally, have never seen it in any of the D projects that I contributed to. So, since this is not a widely used feature and the import semantic is tied to text file, I will close this as WONTFIX. --
