This must be a really silly question, or it would have been asked<br>
already, so I apologise in advance.<br>

It appears you have written a low level http, ftp, smtp library included<br>
in this library... why is there not a standard library for each of these<br>
protocols, and why aren't you building on top of that?<br>

The new etc.curl (std.curl) module is actually build on top of the libcurl bindings located in etc.c.curl. So all low level stuff is handled by the standard libcurl library.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Well, for better or worse, we don't have an official policy on<br>
it. In general, I<br>
think that the tact is to try and rename the item so that it<br>
doesn't pose a<br>
problem, but that's not always possible (hence<br>
FunctionAttribute.pure_). In<br>
this case, since it comes from something else, it looks like it<br>
really should<br>
be some version of delete. However, whereas FunctionAttribute<br>
pretty much<br>
_had_ to be as close to the keyword as possible since it<br>
represented the<br>
keyword, that's not the case here, and given how ugly it is to<br>
tack the _ on,<br>
del seems like a reasonable solution.<br>
<br>
In any case, if we want something official, we'd have to discuss<br>
it, and we<br>
generally have a hard time coming to any kind of consensus on<br>
stuff like that.<br>
So, I don't generally try unless it seems particularly important.<br>

I think we should write down, somewhere, what we have, what we have<br>
agreed on unofficially. It may not be complete and not contain<br>
details for everything but it would at least be something. Instead<br>
of having to explain this every time we get a new contributor to<br>
Phobos or one has to try to find this information in the newsgroup.<br>
