Are you talking about the last diff in particular? Because I
would argue that that one is a poor design decision in Vibe
(overloaded functions' return values should have the same
semantics). What if one overload returned "bool" for
success/failure and another a "size_t" for number of characters
written to the error message buffer?
You're probably right, it's not the best design. But still, the
original version compiled fine because that string was implicitly
convertible to bool, which the DMD change caught.
