If this works...
D programming book section 4.1.9 Expanding
auto a = [87, 40, 10];
a ~= 42;
assert(a== [87, 40, 10, 42]);
why doesnt' this work?
DeletedBlks ~= matchOld[0];
the dmd compiler comes back with
Error: cannot append type string to type string[ulong]
Does this append operator only work for literals?
because it's associative array and it doesn't support "appending"
meaningfully ?
AA with integer keys != plain arrays
string[ulong] is a standard array
ulong[string] would be associative....NO?
While I see logic, but no.
And the reason is that associative means non-contiguous, that is
deletedBlks[0] is not next to deletedBlks[1] etc. More over there could
be gaps.. And most important there is no order of elements.
It's just a map: given integer - give a string.
And plain arrays are more then that :)
