Can we please, please stop the useless bike-shedding on this NG?
Rather than sift through replies to a release announcement (which I have
done since first post and still have an answer) it deserves its own
subject. The release announcement already has:
switch case range limits
case fall through
unsigned signed conversion
build deps
bugs
others and plain old thanks for release
Sorry I must be really dumb for not understanding that subjects are a
bad thing.
all the alternatives proposed have SEMANTIC issues
with them, which is much worse.
Currently we can:
import foo.bar;
or
char[] fileData = cast(char[])import("file.txt");
Existing actual or perceived inconsistencies are not an argument for
adding more of them.
Whats the semantic issues with this:
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
replaced with
case (1,3):
a) It is not arguably better and more suggestive than the syntax in place.
b) "(1,3)" already means two things, neither of which has anything to do
with "I want to write case labels from 1 through 3 here".
