> The D1 spec allows what?

It allows implict conversion of an array of derived classes to an array of base
classes. Thomas quoted the relevant verbage.


> The spec and the changelog to contradict each other?

What matters is what the spec says and what the compiler does now. If someone
wants to go through the compiler/spec diffs from years ago to see when things
changed, that's fine and I'll fold in changelog changes if they present them,
but I've got a lot of current issues to address, and historical spelunking is
off the radar.


> In which DMD version was this misfeature revived, anyway?

I don't know. I agree it is a misfeature, but I am loathe to break existing D1
code at this point, so I believe it should stay as it is.
