Assuming, of course, a 'max' that works on a range, which would be easy
enough to do. Probably something like:
ElementType!T max(T range) // Corrected
{
return reduce!ordinaryMax(range);
// Or
return reduce!"a>b?a:b"(range);
}
Or:
alias reduce!"a>b?a:b" max;
God, I love D :)
This is kind of funny. This works because reduce is defined as follows:
template reduce(alias fun)
{
alias Reduce!(fun).reduce reduce;
}
I did that to work around some old compiler bugs that have been since
fixed. I'd initially intended to define reduce like this:
Unqual!E reduce(alias fun, E, R)(E seed, R r) { ... }
but that wouldn't have allowed Nick's alias, which is quite useful. So
it looks like we have a cool idiom.
