The hack must go.
No. Something as simple as sqrt(2) must work at all costs, period. A
language
that adds a bunch of silly complications to something this simple is
fundamentally
broken. I don't remember your post on implicit preferred conversions,
but IMHO
implicit conversions of integer to double is a no-brainer. Requiring
something
this simple to be explicit is Java/Pascal-like overkill on explicitness.
Completely agree.
I call that uncluttered programming. No excessive explicitness should be
necessary when what you mean is obvious (under some simple conventions).
Leads to clearer code.
Yes, and for the most part uncluttered programming is one of D's biggest
strengths. Let's not ruin it by complicating sqrt(2).
