The DDOC generator Harbored-mod - version 0.3.0 available
The documentation generator harborded-mod just got second life. Version 0.3.0 comes notably with - a better default style that looks more like the official doc [1]. - many bug fixes. check [2] and [3] to get the sources and build it.

You cast a const `this` to non-const void* and then "back" to non-const UserIOStream. Then doWriteBytes is called on this seemingly mutable object that's actually const. If I implement doWriteBytes in a way that mutates the object, I'm violating const.

Using lowering to lambdas as a way of defining semantics is not

While it can be convenient to do the latter as a first stab,
I'd expect that the optimizer could make use of special
knowledge available in the compiler to implement this more
efficiently. Since the compiler will always use a fixed pattern
for the lowering, the backend could detect this pattern and
optimize accordingly. Or the compiler implementation could
lower it directly to something more efficient in the first
place.

The lambda even correctly handles "@disable this(this);", I like
it!
struct One { @disable this(this); }
void fun(ref One one) { }
One gun() { return One.init; }
void main()
{
One one; one.fun();
(One __temp0){ return fun( __temp0 ); }(gun()); // OK
}
