Yeah, this is rather made to implement fat pointers.
I understand that, but because the operator isn't defined
normally for classes unless overloaded, then your statement about
this being an inconsistency on the concerns stated prior about
wrecking implementation of standard features. If & can't be
overloaded then the type of &object will always be a pointer, you
can't override the dereference operator of the pointer itself as
far as I can tell, overloading it on the class doesn't overload
the pointer, thus any standard implementation that uses pointers
to store an object would be completely unaffected by overloading
the dereference operator. This I don't consider it an
inconsistency.
Also Johnathan, yeah, the forum.dlang.org is the same for me as
kinke said, most the time it goes thorugh nearly immediately, but
sometimes (about 1/4'th) it takes multiple minutes. The thing is
that I can open 3 tabs all loading the same page, on multiple web
browsers, and they'll all stall, then suddenly all of them load
at the same time. If it persists I may ry making a post as you
suggested.
