[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Kenji Hara from comment #4) > writeln formats all ranges by using the style [a, b, ...]. That's the default I'd like to change. > And array is a range in D. Also a string is a range, but it gets a different output, it doesn't look like an array of chars. For the programmer a lazy range and an eager one are quite different in D (in Haskell they are more transparent). > Additionally, writeln always evaluate all range elements to print them. But probably writeln doesn't collect all the items before printing them, it probably converts them one at a time (otherwise writeln needs an improvement). So the information of the eagerness or lazyness of the given range is still available inside writeln. > If you want the semicolon-separated style, use the format specifiers "%( ... > %| ... %)". This is useless, as I explained above, because the point of the ";" is to give me information. There's little point in giving information, and even as a convention no one else will adopt it. I think you are missing the point, but it doesn't matter much, because it's not very important. Closed issue as wontfix. --
