Maybe using -d should itself emit a warning?
This does not help (-d is not problem), you can not protect me
from myself. Real problem is that changing semantics never end up
well. If I skip 2.066(and many versions before) version of D
compiler, I even do not get any deprecation or warning message.
Original code is 2 years old (which should be legacy code for
someone).
Even if this kind of change take more time, what time is enought?
2 years, 5 years, 10 years? What about old stackoverflow answers?
IMHO it is impossible to make this right. We only can try to make
it right as possible. And in this case I do not think we made it
:(.
