There's no problem with assignment, it's never ambiguous.There seems to be some confusion about what the issue is. To reiterate: void foo(float x) {} void foo(double x) {} void bar(float x) {} void baz(double x) {} void main() { bar(2); // OK -- 2 becomes 2.0f baz(2); // OK -- 2 becomes 2.0 foo(2); // fails -- ambiguous. } My proposal was effectively: if it's ambiguous, choose double. That's all.
This proposal seems like a no-brainer to me. I sincerely apologize for not supporting it before. I looked at when it was created, and I realized that I was with my family for Christmas/New Years at the time, with little time to spend on the D newsgroup.
