Fantastic news.
The fact that it is a caller decision to use or not names
emphasizes the D "syntax sugar" oriented conventions (like "dot
notation"): same method can be called using the way it fits
better with your on convention.
countOcurrences("hello", "e");
"hello".countOcurrences("e");
"hello".countOcurrences(of:"e"),
countOcurrences(of:"e", in:"hello");
I use rdmd as scripting tool, and I have to say that I will adopt
immediately named parameters usage: in addition to scope(...),
ranges and the simplicity/power of the standard library, D
becomes an expressive and powerful scripting language.
