It's now possible to do assymmetrical operator overloads with commutative operators like +.

And it's now possible to create a << stream operator overloading in D. Not that I endorse such a use of operator overloading for non-arithmetic purposes, but it's now possible (without doing free operator functions or needing ADL, either!).

Package attribute!  Yeee-haw!

Wow, Walter you must have been visited by an angle or something last night.  You've done a complete backflip on so many issues.  Not that I mind, its a good thing you keep an opened mind.

default arguments yay.

Great timing :)  I had just started looking at streams today.  Just to clarify,
it looks like the old rules would not evaluate b.opfunc_r(a) if a.opfunc is
defined, whether or not there was an overload for a.opfunc(b).  Do I have this
right?

Walter: Thxs! For the "Added default arguments to function parameters." :)) Now I can pull out all my wrapper functions...this is some really Great News!!

<*Wonders*> To you think Phobos.std.string could get a non-case sensitive
version of find (ifind) and rfind (irfind) added to it sometime in the near
future? It would be very useful (even if it just does ASCII). Thxs for your
reply in advance. :)

Angles? Dude, that's sick.  I can't help but picture some poor Flatlander's 2-dimensional body parts strewn about... :-)

All of us healthy-minded people know Walter was really visited by Mr. Hyper-sphere from 4-space.

Do you want to write one and donate it?

Why not tolower() both of the strings ?
