Is there any particular reason why the 'with' statement is restricted to work with classes only? I keep running into situations where using it with (all?) other D constructs, like structs, enums and such, would be quite useful; making it a sort of specialized 'alias' instead of something so limited. - EricAnderton at yahoo |

IIRC it does work with structs. I think I have used it.

I think I have used it. Ahh, so it does. I think what threw me was the error message when you use something that isn't supported, like an enum: test4.d(8): with expressions must be class objects, not 'Foobar' - EricAnderton at yahoo |

Posted in reply to pragma | Error message at bottom should be:
"with expressions must be class objects or structs"
