seems a natural thing to support (this has actually been in GDC since
2004, so I'm not sure why you should through all arms up about it
now).
When I was first reading about D I read that the inline assembler syntax is built in and standardised in the language... and I gave a large sigh of relief.
If that's not the case, there are competing asm syntax in D, well... that sucks. Am I version-ing my asm blocks for DMD and GDC now like I have to in C for VC and GCC?
Surely D should settle on just one... If that happens to be the GCC syntax for compatibility, great...?
