Bill Baxter: >Or this avoids a double lookup if the symbol is present:<
In LDC both forms (and several other ones, if the usage of the pointer is local, and it doesn't get passed away) get simplified to the same single lookup code :-) (but not in DMD). So much that you may even think of "in" to return just a boolean. You can tell I like LDC a lot, it's the best thing happened to D in a lot of time. Bye, bearophile
