Care to submit a PR to remove mentions of string lambdas from
the Phobos
docs? They're still all over the place.
I feel like this is a bad idea, we shouldn't be deleting
documentation. It will just end up causing more problems. Any
ways, what is so inherently bad about them? Personally for vary
small things I prefer string lambdas as they just look nicer.
I'm on the fence. String lambdas are about as concise as is
syntactically possible, although q{a * b} looks a bit ugly, and
"a * b" doesn't highlight properly in editors. Also, I think they
will confuse newcomers. It's really weird that [1, 2, 3].map!"a +
1" turns the passed string into a function, and extremely
confusing if you haven't read the documentation.
