What is not to like about it? Walter only said in comment #7 that he thought it was low priority. What is unacceptable about the PR or even of the concept itself? DRY is a very sane principle and other users have clearly shown use cases where it will help to avoid errors. --

Sorry if I'm being dense – it's not intentional. *Which* patch was reversed? IIUC the PR was intended to *add* this feature. Are you saying that it was first pulled, then reversed and then reversed again, meaning that the feature was finally actually added?

IIUC as per the last github post in the bugzilla which points to Andrei pulling
the PR:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/fa296e9f088e0e3ccc9f339423bbef15cb3840aa,
the main file modified was declaration.c, but apparently there is no such file
any longer under master
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/tree/master/src, so I'm not sure
under which branch the feature was included...

Putting it another way, will we get this feature with 2.069?

Thanks for your patience!
