Even small scripts need to be tidy. And I don't like that stupid shortcut in a language that tries to be safe as D. Andrei is wrong here. A problem with similar shortcuts is that they save you few chars and they look handy, but sometimes they later come back to bite your ass. Perl is a good example of this. Bye, bearophile
