I know there's been a lot of chatter about scope vars needing work,
what exactly is the deal with that? Isn't there a lib version of
scoped? Are there current problems with that?
You speak about scope storage class (aka scope classes as in D1). It has
been deprecated and replaced by Phobos scoped.
Recent chatter is about scope type qualifier which is supposed to
prohibit escaping references to variable making it only available in
current and nested scopes. There are many possible applications for that
- safe casting away for shared, safe rvalue references, efficient
reference counting and so on. It is currently present in the language
but has no actual implementation, being effectively a NO-OP.
Is phobos scoped at least good enough for real-world use in the meantime?
Also, is this unimplemented scope type qualifier you speak of going to
basically replace phobos scoped?
