- is is messed up. It is a massive hack and have to be rationalized.
As I said in another thread, the _functionality_ of various is()
expressions are very useful and should be kept. But the _syntax_ is
completely b0rked and needs some serious redesign.
- version is a bad version of static if. The static if part of the
version must go.
What's your proposal?
- comma expression is confusing and have very little benefice.
+1. I say that D3 should drop the comma operator. Esp. when doing so
will open up the way for having native syntax for tuples. Needing to
resort to Phobos to have a way to name a compiler-supported type is
backwards and silly.
- out arguments. We can return tuples, out argument is going
backward in history.
Not when there's no way to name tuples without resorting to Phobos (or
copy-n-paste Phobos code).
- many array properties (.sort for instance) are useless and would
be way better as libs.
Yeah, .sort is redundant, and besides shouldn't be an array "property"
to begin with.

Let's not forget .reverse. Why these are properties (and .dup/.idup) is
seriously beyond me.....
