Thank you for the great work, Walter and all the other contributors.
But I am a bit disappointed with the CaseRangeStatement syntax.
Why is it
case 0: .. case 9:
instead of
case 0 .. 9:
With the latter notation, ranges can be easily used together with
commas, for example:
case 0, 2 .. 4, 6 .. 9:
And CaseRangeStatement, being inconsistent with other syntaxes using the
.. operator, i.e. slicing and ForeachRangeStatement, includes the endpoint.
Shouldn't D make use of another operator to express ranges that include
the endpoints as Ruby or Perl6 does?
I think this was hashed out ad nauseum in the n.g.
Hardly. There seemed to mostly be complaints about it with Andrei saying things like
"I can't believe you don't see the elegance of the syntax".
There's been also suggestions of inferior syntax, as are now.
