Re: reference to 'self' inside a function

What might this be good for ? For implementing recursion in a lambda function. Writing in functional style, one creates many functions, and looking for reasonable names for these functions becomes unnecessarily painful. Good idea ! "self" is a cute keyword, or "lambda" but this could break existing code.

The idea was which features in D are redundant and/or do not add significant value? A couple already agreed upon ones are typedef and the cfloat, cdouble and creal types. What's your list? This certainly seems to have become the biggest thread ever! Yes, this is a very interesting discussion, even for a n00b like me ! (and even if i didn't understand everything)
