What do you think are the reasons I suggested the enhancement for?
To make people write code the way you like? :)
Honestly, it's like you require someone to call a function like:
T foo(T)(T t){return t;}
Just so you can see the foo there. I understand the idea, but the
result is not logical, just superficial.
Issue 7444 allows to tell apart the two very different operations of
this code, that look the same:
void main() {
int[][3] x;
int[] y;
int[] z;
x[] = z; // copies just the z pointer
y[] = z; // copies the elements in z
}
x[] = z[]; // copies just the z pointer
y[] = z[]; // copies the elements in z.
The problem is that the brackets don't affect the operation, just the type
of the expression. To ascribe more logical meaning results in rather
awkward and incorrect assumptions.
