Interesting idea, will keep it in mind. Thanks! -- Andrei
Even better:
in object.d:
---
public import _d_helpers=core.helpers;
---
lowering:
---
v1==v2
to
_d_helpers.cmp(v1,v2)

This has the best scalability and zero possibility of code breakage and
probably can be done right now. Also since the renamed import must be
referenced explicitly, it doesn't need to be processed until used.
A public import inside object.d is not useful because essentially it
opens more files to load the same amount of code. Generally, there are a
few interesting tradeoffs that govern handling of modularity in
object.d. -- Andrei
