Hi all,
last year there has been a discussion about adding a utility
method for easily dumping variables during debugging to Phobos
[3971].
The effort stalled and after a couple of months I tried to
reboot it [4318]. Now this PR got stalled as well and I am
rethinking the work.
I think dump!(x, y) already got pretty close to the ideal
solution and as we probably aren't going to add a new keyword
or language feature for this, I think this is the best what we
can get atm.
I think the word dump would be too confusing for users based on
the history of the term in C. It should be
writeFormattedVariableLn. /sarcasm.
Just parodying the frankly ridiculous response to 'print'.
