Diggory: That's very cool -- being able to do that in D.
Thanks for showing me :)
But it is not even a remotely practical solution.
The idea is to write less, and so the solution you've given
is to write more mixins all over the place. I said I don't even
want to write 'auto', I am surely not writing the big mixin
chunk.
I only gave an example of math stuff.
But I'd use := for the non-math stuff too.
I want := it to be available everywhere.
Even if I am just typing a snippet into dpaste.
If D implements this, C++ will try to copy it 10 years later.
It's a futuristic thing -- what is old is new.
The mixin definition only needs to exist once, and you can use
"mixin" anywhere - you could wrap an entire source file in it:
mixin!q{
/* All of your code */
}
