I don't believe the problem needs to be solved.
To me it looks like an essential problem.
It's a problem, but not a problem of properties. Just a problem of
temporary return values in general.
Yes. It is particularly exacerbated by properties
and opDot().
struct S {
int s;
}
class X {
S opDot() { S temp; temp.s = 6; return temp; }
}
X z = new X;
assert(z.s == 6);
z.s = 3;
assert(z.s == 6);
So, can we stop considering this general problem as a barrier for
properties? Or just remove opDot() altogether.
because of the
syntactical deception.
