Am I missing something? You can already extend the original
struct:
extern(c) struct Crng
{ int seedA;
int seedB;
ubyte[] restOfTheData;
extern (D) {
// or without extern (D)...
auto front() { return current(&this); }
void popFront() { toNextValue(&this); }
}
}
Does that work? If so, good. But still not optimal, because you
should be able to extend the functionality of code without
changing it.
Looks like what most people want are extension methods, not ADL?
We already have extension methods, but rather we want extension
methods that work with other extension methods they don't know
of. But I think that's what you meant and in this case the answer
at least in my case is yes.
Unrelated: Since when have C struct had array members? I'm not so
smart in my examples X).
