Awww, but it is so much more convenient. No spurious 
linebreaks, nice syntax highlighting, built-in compiler... :P

But I agree, sometimes it's a real pain when you've searching 
for something and all you find is dead links.

Cutting and pasting for posterity... :-)


import std.stdio;
import core.runtime;

immutable string abc;

void main() {
        writeln(abc);
}

shared static this() {
        alias args = Runtime.args;
        if (args.length > 1)
                abc = args[1];
}


Fascinating.  Any chance someone would be able to add this to 
http://dlang.org/module.html as an example for people like me 
who'd have no clue otherwise?
