Hello Brian,
is it possible to write a generic .find function for arrays that ignores strings and so doesn't cause conflicts? I think in D2 its easy by putting an if() constraint on the template, but is it possible in D1? like:
one solution is to dump the std.string.find (or alias it) and have the templated function cover that case as well.
template find(T) // untested so that might not work { int find(T[] array, T obj) { ... } static if(is(T == char) alias std.string.find find; else int find(T[] array, T[] obj) { ... } }
