Hi all,
what are the directions of D2's streams. I heared std.stream is going
to get deprecated in D2. I think it's good as long as
BufferedFile.readLine() returns char[] instead of string. Is D2 going
to get a Java-like stream model? What's wrong with the old one except
that it's a bit out of date?

Two things off the top of my head:
1. std.stream doesn't correctly support files > 2GB on 32-bit Linux,
and possibly
on other OS's as well.
Doesn't that have to do with using C's FILE * interface?
FILE* isn't used anywhere in std.stream. You're either thinking of
std.stdio.File or std.cstream.CFile.
Ah, ok. But does that mean that the problem isn't going away by
deprecating std.stream? I thought FILE * doesn't support large files.
If that's the case, then assertion 1 from David is incorrect, it's not a
good reason to get rid of std.stream.
If that's not the case, then I'm wrong :)
