Correct. The implicitly introduced locals are the problem. Can
anyone on the compiler team work on this? -- Andrei
No, we cannot just jump to anything that pops up on the
newsgroup, b/c we would only be jump but no longer work on
anything.
I've trying to put fixing the whole import system on the agenda
for the past 2 releases, but didn't got much feedback.
Import issues are constantly breaking code (e.g.
http://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.3708.1453114739.22025.digitalmars-d-annou...@puremagic.com) and cause such troubles during development.
I think it's time to dedicate a whole release to work on
imports.
I tried to simply define imports, and it is way more complex than
you'd expect. We probably need some spec first.
