Walter and Atila have informed me that they have approved DIP 1035, "@system Variables", on the grounds that it identifies a loophole in the @safe checks and provides a reasonable solution. Walter said it's a good DIP.

https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/accepted/DIP1035.md

Congratulations to Dennis Korpel and Paul Backus.

I've marked DIP 1037, "Add Unary Operator ...", as "Abandoned". As an abandoned DIP, it has been removed from the review queue and is now free for anyone to champion it who is so inclined. The original author is also free to come back to it at any time.

If you would like to take on DIP 1037, or any abandoned DIP, please contact social@dlang.org and we'll discuss the necessary steps.

... is Orthogonal to 'foreach'!

... is very convenient,
Basically, any of my C++ functions have it.

op: +, -, , /, %, ^, &, |, <<, >>,
=, +=, -=, =, /=, %=, ^=, &=, |=, <<=, >>=,
<, >, <=, >=, ==, !=,
&&, ||,.
, ->
,...

C++ supports various unary and binary folding expressions.
Coupled with variable parameters, it is very convenient
.

Sweet. Thank you, Dennis and Paul.

Awesome! Very much looking forward to that.

Damn, that's unfortunate. I really wanted that one to go through...

Yes. Despite my slight opposition to the DIP in the final review I can't say I'm disappointed. The DIP is still such a piece of art and the feature sounds nice to use, only a bit redundant (which is why I opposed it). Redundancy is not a showstopper after all.
