 I read that the use of a branch spec like ~master in dub.json is 
 deprecated. I also read that it could be overriden on a per-project basis by 
 editing the project's dub.selections.json file but I can't find any 
 information about what is actually required in this file and whether any 
 corresponding changes need to be made to dub.json.
 
 I'm trying to use 'ncurses' which doesn't have a version number, only 
 ~master.

 Also, does anyone know how 'beta' the ncurses module actually is, is anyone 
 using it?
 
 Cheers

So, as far as I know there isn't any plan for versioning that specific library. 
I've used it, however, and it's pretty usable (as much as ncurses goes, at any 
rate).

 Yep, this seemed to do the trick cleanly. S'all compiling and the examples 
 provided in the repo run. Can submit a pull request, if no-one else has one 
 lined up.
 
 Much thanks!
From the original commit that caused that, it seems that const(char)* was meant 
for that statement..?

Re: Allowing Expressions such as (low value high)

 This syntax is currently disallowed by DMD.
 
 I'm aware of the risk of a programmer misinterpreting this as
 
 if ((low  value)  high)
 
 Is this the reason why no languages (including D allows it).
 
 I'm asking for in some cases, where value is a long expression, it would be a 
 nice syntatic sugar to use.
Python has this as well:

```
def foo():
print Called foo
return 10

if 0 = foo() = 50:
print Success!
```

I agree that it would be convenient, though I think that this would cause less 
breakage:

```
if(x in 0..50) {}
```
