Assuming implementation complexity is not an issue, what do you
feel is the more natural semantics for a REPL? Should foo now
call bar(int), or should it still call bar(long)? (feel free to
generalize the issue)
BTW, this succeeds:
long foo(long x) { return x; }
enum x = foo(42);
mixin("int foo(int x) { return x-1; }");
enum y = foo(7);
static assert(x == 42);
static assert(y == 6);
...but is it guaranteed by the spec? Alternatives: 1)
implementation-defined ordering (of the mixin and the enums),
possibly different than the existing frontend; 2)
non-deterministic ordering, can change from one compiler run to
another.
