Actually, that is how it works. If you want a change made to
the language, you
That's the wrong POV, sorry about that. He/She does not want a
change to be made in the language, at least not for one's own
good, but for the language's own good.
It is not a contest about which changes are better documented.
Besides, a better documented change is not necessarily the best
one. Better documentation helps, but it is not necessarily the
burden of the first one to say it to do it.
It is the burden of whoever feels like. Not feeling like is OK.
Bashing other for not feeling like is KO. This is not a sect.
OTOH, if one's think that such proposed change is not worthy, he
could assume the role of writing a DIP on why such thing is
undesirable to have it in the language.
The question to ask oneself/others is not "You want a change
made
to the language?", but "What pro/con reasons I could give for
this change? What manner this change, if implemented, would
impact the language? And that impact would be for the better or
for the worse?".
Yes, I agree, not all stones thrown in here are bricks. But some
are grains of sands of which such bricks are made.
I disagree.
Any change requested is often *a lot* of work for volunteers.
Volunteers who are already spending a lot of free time developing
D for people to use at no cost. Expecting them to spend even more
time coming up with use cases from proposals laid out in a small
NG post is a bit rich. I can understand some people getting a bit
frustrated by it (this isn't the only thread like this from the
OP).
It would be different if D were commercial. User proposals would
probably require a DIP draft to be submitted via the web before
it would even be looked at. Maybe that would avoid all this
teenageesque whinging...
