That's a bug ;-)

Glad to hear that, you did sound a bit upset about something there.

Actually I wasn't talking about the compiler or library versions.

I was thinking about that there are three or four ways to write
D programs; as slightly disguised C, with Phobos, with Tango -
and this new self-modifying compile-time meta-language D thing
that I'm not yet grasping but I'm sure it will be very nice :-)

And I didn't mean this was an all *bad* thing, on the contrary.
Being a multiparadigm language, I'd pretty much expect as much ?
