for this,
or is this up to the implementer of the compiler?
About the bit type, and the bitarray, if I'm interresting in doing anything
alike this, I'm off to allocating an array of chars? - and bitwise accessing
them, to change them?
And now another piece of curiousity, how did this align in memory
they represent
the same thing.
Now what I'm interested in knowing, is if it's really worth implementing
arrayslicing and such for the bit type, because in my opinion I think the
trade-off between usage and implementation cost of the feature, might not be
worth it, but if all of the features has been developed

I think because there were too many complaints of bugs

As you can see from the links to newsgroup threads at the bottom of the first

tapered off in recent years because the current approach is right.
BTW, C++ ran into the same problems with vectorbool.

Didn't knew about D.learn :) - I'll head over there, to ask questions alike
this one, instead of polluting here.
the bit type in D1, is just an alias for bool I take it, for backwards
compatibility`? - is it deprecated?
Yet again, thanks you :)

I think so. But it's only a partial semantic compatibility.
- is it deprecated?
bit as alias of bool is not deprecated, because I presume this alias will never
be removed from D1
