What's your list?
My personal list of features I could easily live without –
some of these might be controversial, but yes, I have written
non-trivial amounts of code in both D1 and D2:
What I forgot to mention:
- VersionCondition: Just provide a mechanism to map command line
flags to constants, probably in a magic »version« namespace,
and use static if (e.g. »version (Foo)« -> »static if
(version.Foo)«, »version (unittest)« -> »static if
(unittest)«).
- DebugCondition: Hardly used in practice, at least not in ways
that couldn't easily be replaced with a static if (resp.
version). It is a frequent source of confusion for newcomers that
-debug is orthogonal to -O/-release, and I'm not too fond of the
purity »escape hatch« built in (why not just use casts in those
rare cases?).
