--- Comment #6 from Steven Schveighoffer <schvei...@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to Neia Neutuladh from comment #5) > If you merely think > you might get a better name for it in the near future, you can change it > then and add a deprecated alias for the existing name. I think we can keep things as is, but just document that RegexMatch.front returns a Captures struct. After all, Captures is already documented. > A slightly more salient change is that you might move a type so it's more > widely accessible. Perhaps a year from now we'll want to use a Captures > object for a std.string.find function. A public import if the name is kept > the same, or an alias if it is not, functions just as well as using an auto > return type. I don't think we need to move types around yet. When I look at std.regex docs, Captures has a lot of documentation, we just don't have the link between RegexMatch.front and the struct it returns (a downside of auto here). We just need to make that link. > > Just another tip: you may want to avoid taking unnecessary offense at > > innocuous things for no reason.

It's a smiley, it literally is just a way to put a happy, friendly face on a comment. You were angry because someone typed a smiley and you grossly misinterpreted it?

Pretty much around the same time (2nd grade you say?) you were learning... whatever it is you are calling tantruming here. By all means, we can stop this OT conversation, but let's get some good work done and move on. --
