Thanks for your answer. That explains my question.
I would love to see an official statement about this pull and
this feature. But neither in the related threads or here in
"learn" I get such statement. That is very sad because this
feature is very important and long discussed.
And I must add: I read so often that Walter does not like to
break existing code.
But with dmd 2.061 structs aren't lvalues anymore (that was a
correct decision) but "auto ref" (which would solve the problem
and prevent breaking existing code) wasn't merged and it seems
that this feature isn't that relevant if I look on the merge
history.
That a bit weird to me.
