My code:
```D
import std.stdio;
class HttpClient
{
string get(string url)
{
return "";
}
string delete(string url)
{
return "";
}
}
void main()
{
auto http = new HttpClient;
string content =
http.get("https://forum.dlang.org/group/general";);
string content =
http.delete("https://forum.dlang.org/newpost/general?";);
}
```
error message

I wonder when I can use it. Because this will cause a
software naming problem.
Considering the deprecation period has ended then IMO it
should be able to be used as an identifier.
I would consider this a bug.
No, it's intentional.

It's still a keyword according to that. I'm assuming a future
release will remove the error, and then you can use it as a
symbol.

The body is now available, and hopefully the delete keyword will
be deprecated soon.
