</div>D site can enjoy a page that lists the deprecated D2 features (and<br>
maybe for each of them lists what to use instead of it), so current<br>
D2 programmers can avoid what will be removed.<br>
<br></blockquote><br></div>Yes, please. This is not only useful for current D2 programmers, but also for newcomers (such as myself). Often I use trail and error alongside the reading of references to learn new languages. If the compiler allows many language constructs/features that are deprecated, it would be very useful to have such a list. Otherwise I'm afraid that I will be writing D2 code that will work today, but will break with a newer more strict version of the compiler when it arrives. Not that I'm planning on writing huge amounts of D2 code right now ;-) but I wouldn't like having to unlearn things later. At least I'd like to keep that to a minimum.<br>
