So am I right in saying that your proposed 'len' function would return .length for narrow strings? If that's the case then it would be a glaring inconsistency with the rest of Phobos, which has been very careful to treat strings as ranges of code points, and not code units. Having a single function break consistency for the sake of a few characters of typing convenience doesn't seem like a sensible thing to do. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
