Ok, I see. I don't know if that is implemented in DMD, not that I've 
heard of. But implementing this in DMD would be more work and would be 
yet another new feature. Note, I'm not saying I'm against it, I just 
want to limit how many new features are added to increase the chance of 
this getting into main line.
