Destroy to your heart's content.
It was great until I saw:
extern(auto, "myMoveTo:")
After all:
extern(C/C++/D/Objective-C[, string])
Is that string meant for raw mangling or effect mangling in the form of
selector?
Just no, leave @selector alone I think.
You have the same problem with c++ namespaces.
Perhaps this is slightly wrong.
extern(string)
Is the only way to force a specific mangling.
Where as
extern(C/C++/D/Objective-C[, string])
with the string altering in C++ and Objective-C mode.
So the only difference is extern(string) vs pragma(mangle, string)
Little harder sell, but I think might be worth it for cleaning up the
language.
