That would potentially break code.
It would also potentially fix code.
Well that's the stupidest thing I've read today. Can you point to people
using it in the way that you expect? Besides which, that's just about
the worst way to fix bugs in code is to change the language's behaviour.
I was not being entirely serious here... Do you have any opinion about
the topic?
I think it's too late to change the behaviour,
It is a good time to change the behavior: We are still in a stage where
almost every release of the reference compiler breaks some code.
and it's not too terrible, even if un-ideal.
It is completely useless. It should rather be disabled as bearophile
suggests and then be re-enabled with the sane semantics after enough
time has passed.
