Anonymous delegates and auto

[Mike]

Hi!

Using delegates and command chaining ... just awesome.

'    .sort((ref CTestFloatClass v1, ref CTestFloatClass v2) { return  
v1.value < v2.value ? -1 : v1.value == v2.value ? 0 : 1; })

However, is there a reason why DMD can't infer the types of v1 and v2? It  
infers the return type from the expression, but it can detect a type  
mismatch in the delegate definition, so it has the information to make  
this work:

'    .sort((auto v1, auto v2) { return v1.value < v2.value ? -1 : v1.value  
== v2.value ? 0 : 1; })

And, considering how foreach works, this:

'    .sort((v1, v2) { return v1.value < v2.value ? -1 : v1.value ==  
v2.value ? 0 : 1; })

Any reason why this wouldn't work (probable parsing problems aside)?
