Jonathan M Davis:
D doesn't
bother to check, so you get the natural consequence of mixing
them. I'm quite
sure that the fact that it works that way is an accident. It
was never
intentially made to be allowed or disallowed. It's just
allowed, because
there's nothing intrinsic about either of the attributes which
makes it
illegal, and no effort was made to do prevent it (it probably
didn't even occur
to Walter that anyone would do it). I'd expect it to continue
to work though,
since it doesn't really harm anything,
According the way my brain works, sometimes I find the D compiler
unnervingly sloppy.
and it would break code if it were disallowed.
Uhmm.
