I don't really like this idea. D has limitations to accepted symbol that are strict, but handy in many cases. Accepting strange character in a method name can lead to parsing ambiguities and I like the way D enforce non-ambiguous code. I understand why we can think that the question mark is nicer than an auxilliary in this case, but where to draw the line? The question mark already lead to a (small) parsing ambiguity.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If we allow "name?" should we allow "name!" as well (as Ruby does). Is there anything else we should allow? Allow everything?
I was thinking something like that. -- /Jacob Carlborg
