Although I like it, I wonder if it works in D's context free
grammar. Timon probably would know best...
I came up with this code, which compiles today:
import std.stdio;
alias int x;
void foo(x) {}
void foo2(string x) {writeln(x);}
void main()
{
foo(1);
foo2("hello");
}
Under your proposal, if we shorten foo2 to foo2(x), what
happens? Does it become just like foo? Or does it turn into a
template? Or is it an error?
I don't see any way the proposed syntax could work either. We
could have this, though:
auto min(auto a, auto b)
{
return a < b;
}
But I don't think this feature is worth changing the language
anyway.
