Ranges are D's monads. The only thing missing is the burrito
tutorials.
I always thought the best spice in D is UFCS. If only there
would be one for local symbols (but that needs either
foundation's decision or I need to write my first DIP and do
something instead of just crying silently into my sleeve).
alias I(alias X) = X;
void main()
{
int y = 5;
int bar(int x) { return y * x; }
// auto z = 6.bar; // error
auto z = 6.I!bar; // OK
}

Every time I'm thinking that something is impossible to be
elegantly and/or easily done even in D - someone proves me wrong.
And common, I just had that little spark of motivation to look
into DMD, what is my purpose in life now?

If only there would be one for local symbols (but that needs either foundation's decision or I need to write my first DIP and do something instead of just crying silently into my sleeve). I really found few usages for that, like using methods of class on data types that stored inside ranges inside that class. Image data being glued to each other in different lists like data in SQL among tables. Not like an show stopper, but after I rewrote part of my application into D - a lot of stuff become so much more elegant and easy to read and maintain. UFCS would help with readability in cases like I had tons.
Re: Release D 2.079.0
Can somebody explain how &array[0] is more safe than array.ptr? Just want to understand why second statement isn't allowed in safe anymore.
