Don:
That's been requested many times. I posted a patch to Walter to do
exactly that. It was beautiful. It detected recursive template
expansions, and gave really nice error messages. Silently rejected.
Sigh.
If your patch is well done, works with LDC too, I see no reason to refuse this
feature even for D1, it doesn't change the language and just makes debugging
simpler. So let's not surrender yet. How much time ago Walter has refused this
patch? Lately Walter is more receptive for your patches. I can create a new
thread about this in the main D NG. If 8+ persons say they want this patch, and
it works correctly, then Walter can change his mind.
Please don't do that just yet. It's something that can wait until the D2
stuff is finished. It can be added at any time. Some of the other things
are urgent.
