This can be a cause of problems in D dlls too, I am not sure.

In ShedSkin things are more complex, the uint has to be a bitmask, because

As a thought, when/if you decide to write your own polling system, I
think it should log the website referrer as well as the voter's ip and
choice.
It'd be interesting to see stats about skewing from a certain site,

What I do in code where I want this kind of behaviour is something like this:
void func(Whatever* options = null) {
if(options is null)
options = Whatever(default blah blah);
}
(substitute null for a
Most inlining is going to cause exactly the same class of problems, which
nearly every shipping application is going to do. Converting these to
helpers functions will result in a tiny little function that will be
inlined, so, right back to the same basic problem.
