Why am I forced to visit this D Lang thread, why this
deprecation warning still appears in my console window in the

already polluted logging entries of the compiler. How am I
suppose to program anything effectively if half of the screen
are some nonsensical deprecation warnings without guidance or
sane explanations.
This is not better
```
foreach (i, row; arr)
```
than
```
foreach (int i, row; arr)
```
Hides the datatype and makes the D language appear in-explicit
and annoying.
What is this language becoming. A completely weak typed
language or something?
I would use JavaScript if I would want that. How are we suppose
to make whole sane Operating Systems with such syntaxes. Do
everyone just enjoy having bugs with some implicit size_t, or
do everyone just enjoy deprecation warnings in their logging
systems when there are way more important problems to solve,
that are actually project related.
You can specify the index type, just choose the right one. For
now there's a deprecation message but after some while you'll get
a proper error message, e.g _"index type for arr must be of type
T because arr.length type is T"_.
What's is happening now is to help people updating their code and
prevent abrupt breakages.
