Yes, definitely - but then again we can't after each invalidated claim
to go "yeah well but that other point stands".
My claim was not invalidated. I just didn't want to waste time arguing
about it, because it is off topic. My point was that foreach is a purely
language construct that doesn't know about the std.range.primitives
module, therefore doesn't use it and therefore foreach doesn't perform
**auto**decoding. It does perform explicit decoding because you need to
specify a different type of iteration variable to trigger the behavior.
If the variable type is not specified, you won't get any decoding (it
will instead iterate over the code units).
Your claim was obliterated, and now you continue arguing it by adjusting
term definitions on the fly, while at the same time awesomely claiming
to choose the high road by not wasting time to argue it. I should
remember the trick :o). Stand with the points that stand, own those that
don't.
It's not "on the fly". You two were presumably using different
definitions of terms all along.
