Sorry for double-posting, but I've included a GC-enabled solution
based on their Java solution, and have a pull request up that's a

So I'm curious, what's the consensus on auto?
Speaking for myself:
1) I find auto to be useful when instantiating objects locally;
eliminates redundancy, noise, and line size.
2) I avoid auto functions and despise them in API

Is it maybe not better to have one "front-end" compiler visible

Example:

Thanks to Walter Bright's recent comments at Dconf about memory

Open it up instead. Let the community "plug in" and I am sure D

Hello D community! First time poster, I'm utterly fascinated with

There are just two conveniences I'd like to see out of D. The
first is pattern matching, a functional construct which can
