Well, I just updated DMD to 2.059 (from 2.058) and lo and behold,
this doesn't pass for the new version. Interesting. And
apparently static asserts can now occur outside of a scope (must
have been a fixed bug).
That said, I'm receptive to the change because I don't see a use
case for the original behavior and I buy Mr. Davis' explanation.
Plus this:
void main() {
immutable(Immutable) a;
Immutable b;
static assert(!is(typeof(a) == typeof(b));
}
would fail with the old behavior, even though they are clearly
distinct.
And of course is(typeof(anImmutable) == shared) is also false
with the new version.
