Probably too late to change that one.
There is very little D2 code around, so little changes as this one are
possible still.
It's a D1 feature, and has been there since nearly the beginning.
Since when did we care about D1 compatibility?
const, inout, array appending, final, typeof(string), TLS globals just to
name a few...
If you expect D1 code to compile fine and run on D2, you are deluding
yourself.
The worst that happens is that code starts using dchar instead of char,
and either a compiler error occurs and it's fixed simply by doing:
foreach(char c; str)
or it compiles fine because the type is never explicitly stated, and
what's the big deal there? The code just becomes more utf compatible for
free :)
