But then that only helps with one specific instance. D is
full of language features, I do not see why everyone is so
against them. Without them, D would be empty, nothing, and no
one would use it. Adding language features should be see as
something good, cause without them, we wouldn't get anywhere.
In the past, I've thought it would be convenient to have
something like
import io = std.stdio : writeln, write;
and allow someone to write
io.write("foo");
io.writeln("bar");
though I don't know if that causes any kinds of problems to
implement.
This looks really clean for code modularity.
import io = std.stdio : {writeln, write}, ...
Yes, and also
import io = {std.stdio : {writeln, write}, ... }
which allows one to create their own "packages" inline. Group the
best functionality they use often. Should be quick, efficient,
and easy to implement. D should have this, where do I vote for it?
