Ask yourself, if D had no users other than you, so that you break
*anything*, what would you remove? Make a wishlist, and then find out
what's possible. Remember, when you did that before, we successfully
got rid of 'bit', and there was practically no complaint.
Top of my list would be the auto-decoding behavior of
std.array.front() on character arrays. Every time I'm faced with that
I want to throw a chair through the window.
LOL... now I'm genuinely curious what's Andrei's comment on this. :-P
Last I heard, Andrei was against removing autodecoding.
I have yet to completely convince Andrei that autodecoding is a bad idea :-(
