Thanks for doing the work to make a sample implementation, too. I don't know
if this will make it into D, but Jonas is a fine example of a champion.
Thanks for the feedback. Nice to know that it is not immediately off the table
at least :)
I can't promise anything. But it does need a lot of work. A survey of how it is
done in other languages is helpful to see what they find useful and to see what
has been overlooked. A quick look by me shows a lot of variety.
D's lambda syntax came about after such a survey, and we cherry-picked the best
characteristics of the lot. The result was a nice home run for D.
The n.g. discussion also brought up a couple of existing library solutions.
Those need to be evaluated as well and compared with any language solution.
