You need to realize that the same thing applies to you. There
is no "us" vs "you". I.e. if you know it to only be 10 minutes
of work, why don't you just fix it yourself? Mike currently
has as many commits in DMD as you do, and he is already busy
contributing in other ways.
EXACTLY! Your problem is that you are taking the you vs me too
literal. I am talking about a mentality people have that think
that them saving 10 minutes by not implementing something that
will save 10 hours(low estimate) for everyone else is a good
thing and criticize people when they say there is a better and
try to condemn them and continue the status quo that wastes
more time.
You should probably start to think about the real reason behind
all this.
The thing you complain about is DMD being flexible, like any
other compiler is too.
Try blundering around with the 'include' folder of your favorite
C compiler,
but don't blame me if nothing works any any more, because your
compiler uses that directory as-is as its include directory and
does not have an internal whitelist of the files to expect there.
The next question is, would like DMD to require a whitelist for
every single include directory, which means forcing each dev to
write or generate a file list of his library directories?
