Ah good point. I missed that. That being the case, I'd probably lean towards assertions. Ranges need to be high performance. They should have very clear error messages with them rather than be bare assertions (so hopefully the programmer will realize that it's _their_ bug and not Phobos'), but still assertions. I think that ranges are too performance critical for enforce() if assertions are actually useable (and as you point out, since they're templates, assertions will be useable). So, I'd vote assertions. - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
