No, it's not a typo. If you read the documentation you'll see
that:
"If no fields or "this" is specified, it indicates that the
whole class/struct should not be (de)serialized."
I understand the need for Orange to be backwards compatible,
but for std.serialization, why isn't the old-style mixin simply
removed in favor of the UDA.
Furthermore for "template NonSerialized(Fields...)" there is an
example, while for the new style "struct nonSerialized;" there
isn't!
I find the newstyle both more intuitive and you also more dry
not duplicating the identifier: "int b; mixin NonSerialized!(b)"
@nonSerialized struct Foo
{
int a;
int b;
int c;
}
struct Bar
{
int a;
int b;
@nonSerialized int c;
}
I like this a lot more. Phobos just needs to be compatible with
the current release, so backwards compat is a non-issue here.
