Will popFront and popBack return the element removed? Usually that is the meaning of pop (but not always).
Great question. In STL they can't because C++ couldn't move values reliably at the time (C++0X still can't IMHO but that's another discussion). D would be able to because it has good support for moving. I just don't want inefficiencies; returning e.g. a large struct will still involve some memcpying even if costly resources are not duplicated.
So I'm ambivalent about this. Andrei
