I've written about this before, but here's the summary:
There will be a comment thread on every single function in the
standard library where people will say whatever they want and
we can't stop them ahead of time.
- Anything they could possibly post there that's legitimately
worth having would be better off canonised in the docs in the
first place.
- Any questions they ask would be better asked on D.learn.
- Any other post may be subtly incorrect, previously correct,
incredibly unsafe, correct with caveats, or a multitude of
other shades of wrong.
- Everything else is noise.
Agreed. I find the idea of having the official docs cluttered
with comments from literally anyone who could say anything
(correct or not) to be a terrible idea.
