DIP 1005 provides new syntax to make it possible to avoid global imports.
Any thoughts?
I like it!
template imp(string mod)
{
mixin("import imp = " ~ mod ~ ";");
}
auto fun_time(imp!"std.datetime".SysTime tm)
{
return tm;
}
void main()
{
import std.stdio;
import std.datetime;
fun_time(Clock.currTime()).writeln;
}
Wow. This is... brilliant. Thanks for the great idea. I ran a few tests and it
seems to be doing out of the box most of what we want with DIP1005 with no
language change at all.
Congratulations!
I agree, it's pretty dazz! We need to give this technique a memorable name (not
an acronym). I thought "Voldemort Types" turned out rather well, whereas CTFE is
klunky, UFCS is even worse. The absolute worst is C++ SFINAE.
Any ideas?
Scherkl-Nielsen Lookup?
The perfect bikeshedding moment!
Daniel, Dominikus: please consider writing an article about this.
