--- Comment #6 from Andrei Alexandrescu <and...@erdani.com> --- (In reply to Jack Stouffer from comment #5) > I doubt that parse can handle all of the esoteric inputs that isNumeric can > handle right now. That's part of the problem. There's very little use of a function that tells you something is numeric, that is not complemented by a function that tells you what the actual number is. This function is inspired from scripting languages that need it for logic such as "if it looks like a number, consider it a number". Has no place in D. --
