Walter Bright:
Shadowing globals is definitely a bad idea. Shadowing members,
it's debatable.
So are you saying D here should give an error for the shadowing
of the module-level x?
struct Foo { int x; }
int x;
void main() {
Foo f;
with (f) {
x++;
}
}
In any case, I don't think it is some sort of terrible bug
generator. In fact, I'll often write:
struct S {
int m;
this(int m) { this.m = m; }
}
because I like to make it clear I am initializing m.
From my experience that's quite bug-prone:
