Other opinions?
I always thought vector was a bad name choice in C++, I had that word associated with what C++ calls a valarray (a physics vector). I agree that Array is too generic for D, though, and unfortunately I don't have a better suggestion, but you asked for other opinions ;) BTW, what would be the point of an array/vector when you have built-in arrays? If built-in arrays would be syntax sugar for a real library type, like AAs, I can see as a good option using Array for that type, since built-in arrays and the library Array would be the same thing. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DETIENEN A PADRE, MADRE, TIOS Y ABUELOS: TODOS DEPRAVADOS -- Crónica TV
