Soon the PI level, or at least 10 times PI!
A hundred even. ;-)
Coming along. I'm writing about strings and Unicode right now. I was
wondering what people think about allowing concatenation (with ~ and
~=) of
strings of different character widths. The support library could do
all of
the transcoding.
(I understand that concatenating an array of wchar or char with a
dchar is
already in bugzilla.)
So a common way to convert wchar to char might then become
""~myWcharString?
That seems kind of odd.
Well, I guess. In particular, to me it's not clear what type we should
assign to a concatenation between a string and a wstring. With ~=, it's
much easier...
My intuition would be to expect the same as adding an int to a byte: you get an int.
Concatenating a string and a wstring should yield a wstring; ie, encode to the wider of
the two types.
