Right. I said we should talk about the concrete benefits of the proposal
instead of talking about encapsulation.
Why would the DIP hamstring itself by not discussing its most important
advantage? -- Andrei
Because it is a slippery slope if you subscribe to the notion that "D's
unit of encapsulation is the module".
Do we need to rethink encapsulation in D? Should there be an additional
'internal' visibility modifier that hides members even to other
declarations in the same module?
On an unrelated note: I'm still not a fan of the with(import) syntax as
it morally promotes a lack of turtles (even if not technically so).
