Therefore it really should include an import of std.algorithm explicitly for both clarity and long term reliability. Bryce.

Hi all, Can someone explain this to me please? I have been trying to understand why you would use splitter over split between the examples on page 8 and page 12, as an errata has been posted: http://erdani.com/tdpl/errata/index.php?title=Main_Page which states that splitter should be used for better efficiency. However when I use splitter in my code it works without having imported std.algorithm. Thanks, Bryce.

If you're importing some other phobos module, I would guess an instance of this bug: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=314 On 01/03/2011 10:56 AM, Bryce Watkins wrote: However when I use splitter in my code it works without having imported std.algorithm. Thanks, Bryce.
