Are they, still? I can't speak for everyone, but I know I've
never used it. I wish I had had it for precisely the feature in
question when I was first learning C, even though it would have
spoiled me on other compilers until...2013, apparently. :/
Since dmd never had it, and dmc did, wouldn't anyone have
suggested "hey, I like this dmc feature, why not put it in
dmd?" But nope.
In the few compilers I've used that had it, I've never begrudged
its existence; it's usually been helpful, and never harmful. You
could say I like it because it offers proper visualisation of the
data. I didn't realise it was moving from "rare, nice perk" to
"in-demand standard feature" until this thread.
