Universal Function Call Syntax. The idea is that any function can be called as if it were a member function. The member function call syntax that arrays have is a version of this but isn't general/universal, whereas _universal_ function call syntax would apply to all types. So, stuff like 1.abs() and 5.max(3) become legal. It also means that you can declare functions which take a class or struct as their first parameter and call them as if they were member functions of that class/struct.

But it can introduce ambiguities - especially when dealing with structs or classes which can have member functions of their own. So, there's been some debate as to how it should be implemented - or even _if_ it should be implemented, though the basic idea is fairly popular.

>From the sound of it, at least property functions with integers can now be
used with UFCS, since at least that level of UFCS is required to declare properties for built-in types.

@property auto prop(int value) { ... }
auto value = 7.prop;

But that's just a guess, asthe changelog obviously isn't very descriptive. So, I have no idea what exactly has been implemented for that one line in the changelog - hence my question.

I've already posted about this to the beta mailing list. -- /Jacob Carlborg

This method is inferior to std.algorithm.sort, and most of its drawbacks are not fixable. Plus, sorting doesn't belong to the runtime IMO. Great job by the way !

That doesn't seem to work. So does anyone know what exactly is implemented?
