come on, that's just hindsight.
I agree of course that one thread for the topic is better than two, but
since we are already in a situation with a thread that contains about
170 posts most of which are off topic, a new clearly named thread
("safer cast -take II" clearly suggests what the content is IMO) is
better than just continue posting in the older thread. what else do you
want me to do?? Go back in time and repost in a different thread??

since we already have one polluted (huge) thread I do not wish to
discuss this here further, if you want, you can mail me personally and
continue this discussion there  (although i don't see a reason to do this)

now, back on topic! what's your opinion on the proposal? please share
your thoughts for the betterment of the D community.
