Actually I have nothing against your helper functions
(except that they don't make Streams compatible with
std.algorithm functions).
Same problem... StreamRange(...) assumes that all data in the
stream is of the same type.
-Bit
So Ranges are...
So tell me how you expect to read a stream containing mixed
data types...
You should have got that's even not what i was talking about.
Basic summary of the conversation:
- you: hello what do you thing about my helpers functions?
- others: nothing, we won't add this because streams are
deprecated. Maybe they'll come back one day if someone comes with
a kind of "rangified" stream solution.
- you: how can I "rangify" a stream ?
- me: hello, you can add the ranges primitives.
- you: yes but it doesn't work for my particular case.
- me: (sigh) I know, I was talking about how streams can be
rangified in a general way.
I think that the misunderstanding happens after 'others'
intervention: 'other' did not suggested that your helper
functions can be made in the "Range" fashion.
