Had it
done so, you could have chained your put calls very nicely.
app.put("foo")
.put(var)
.put("bar")
.put(more)
.put("stuff");
You can naturally write a small wrapper function that does
this for you,
but it still strikes me as odd. Sadly I imagine changing the
return type
would make the function signature mangle differently, breaking
ABI
compatibility.
Does ~= chain? -- Andrei
I'm not sure I understand.
Appender!string app;
app ~= "hello"
~= " "
~= "kitty";
--> Error: Cannot modify '" "'
Is the order of evaluation not such that this becomes app ~=
("hello" ~= (" " ~= "kitty"))?
