Only if the compiler prefers opApply to range methods, does it?
It should. If it doesn't, that is a bug.
The sole purpose of opApply is to interact with foreach. If it is masked
out, then there is no point for having opApply.
Thanks.
So, if we had this support which I am asking for:
foreach(index, value; range) { }
And, if someone adds opApply to that range, with a different type for the
first variable then an existing foreach (using index, value) is likely to
stop compiling due to type problems.
This seems acceptable to me.
There is an outside chance it might keep on compiling, like if 'i' is not
used in a strongly typed way, i.e. passed to a writefln or similar. In
this case we have silently changed behaviour.
Is this acceptable?
