And let me say that I really do like that this works in D. I can't imagine
doing anything like this in C++ (which is what I used primarily in the
past).
The only reason I joke about it being useless is it really only supports
vectors of length 2 or 3 (technically 1 as well but that is not really a
vector) and at that point I am tempted to say it is more efficient to just
make a Vector2!float class or something of the sorts.
Then the next step is to allow swizzling (sp?) :-)
auto myVec = yourVec.yzx; // myVec.x = yourVec.y, myVec.y = yourVec.z,
myVec.z = yourVec.x;
auto myVec2 = yourVec.xxx; // and so on
Manu Evans had reported either during his talk at DConf 2013 or during
private conversations at the same conference that the technique has been
used at Remedy Games.
