Well, now that I know I can change it to a template.

When I asked a mid-June on this list, I did not get an answer. I decided to go 
take the most conservative route and not use any C++ feature not already in use 
elsewhere in the code.

If you say it's okay to use templates then I'll make the change, it's no big 
deal. I agree it'd be a little cleaner that way, although with typedefs it 
won't change things much.
I originally did not use templates because g++ at the time did a terrible job 
with them. This has gotten much better now.
That's useful to know.

Done, now using a template:

        typedef Array<struct Expression>  Expressions;

<https://github.com/michelf/dmd/compare/master...type-checked-arrays>

Ok, so now I'd like to know how long can I expect it might take before 
integrating in mainline? It's important because this patch is very costly to 
maintain, as almost every commit I merge into from mainline causes conflicts I 
must resolve manually.

Also, it's been tested only on OS X. It's not easy for me to work on other 
platforms, so I guess I'd need someone else to try to compile it on Linux and 
Windows and fix the type-checking errors for the platform specific parts. 
Anyone wants to help?


It'll have to wait until after this release is done. Also, please do it as a pull request!
