I disagree, even though the example appears to be specifically
designed to confuse. Actual usage looks like this:
import std.stdio, std.bigint
void main(){
writeln(2.BigInt ^^ 123456);
}
Yeah... tailored for confusion... that could be the biggest issue
actually:
I always get surprised when arrays are 1 item initialized, and
even more so when done in a struct via aggregate initialization.
I'd say *that* was actually the bigger culprit in my example, and
the one that lead to my confusion, which I then blamed (or
"called wolf") on UFCS "If it wasn't for UFCS, that would have
been turned down!" UFCS actually had nothing to do with it. :(
Well, thanks for the explanation and debunk.
