That's part of the mess we are trying to clean up here? As of DIP 23,
you would have to do arr.front()() in order to actually call the
delegate.
Not with @property
The current behaviour is also that you have to do arr.front()() in order
to actually call the function. So with DIP23 in effect you would
actually have to remove @property in order to be backwards compatible.
I don't understand the point here. Why would we want to be backwards
compatible with a buggy compiler?
In a bug-free implementation of arrays-as-ranges, arr[0] and arr.front
should be perfectly interchangeable (with the well-known exception of
strings).
