I don't know, I think you and Walter are able to judge the relative priorities of things. In Bugzilla I have about twenty small/tiny breaking changes like this one, some of them are probably already virtually closed. This specific one was sleeping for few months there. If you want to change little but non backwards compatible things in D2 (like disallowing implicit concatenation of strings) you need to do it sooner, because when all people have written lot of D2 code you can't remove/change features any more. So while this bug report is much less important than additive features like for example named function arguments, it has higher priority, because named arguments may be added later, in D3. Seeing how those bug reports are getting dust, I'd like to show them here one by one (because I have shown them all together already, with no answers), so they may receive some attention, like this one. One year from now most or all those very small enhancement requests will probably ! be useless, and worth closing as WONTFIX with a message like "it's too much late to change this". I'm doing my best to help remove some warts from D2. Bye, bearophile
