Moreover, it will auto-expand when you use it to call a function etc.You can sometimes do [args] - with the [] around it to turn into an array. Then you can .each it and so on. But they must already be of compatible types to do that since an array elements must all be the same thing.I would suggest just using foreach for this.
What's a compiler list... is that something like a tuple? or more like a macro expansion? Or is it only valid to use in a foreach to take advantage of each item individually and for expansion in a function call ?
Is it possible to partially expand like:
void fn(int, uint) {}
and ARGS(string, int, uint)
and call fn(args[1..$]);
Is that possible?
as for the format function...foreach works as expected so I'll
just keep that. Thanks for your fast reply :)
