And it's all to avoid breaking a theoretical piece of code that I would think that we could all agree is extremely rare if it exists in any real D code base at all. Simply using a transitional compiler switch like we have with other DIPs would make _way_ more sense than burdening the language with an unnecessary attribute that's just going to make it easier to write buggy code. This is clearly a case of making the language worse long term in order to avoid a theoretical problem in the short term. - Jonathan M Davis Completely agree.
