It just takes me 1 minute to bring an evidence:

- https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/issues/4001
- 
https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/commit/fdfe6b00e0e8558050ebd6e6c7cb33b3d789be4f

nothing proves that this cannot break again. I see many things 
like this in Odin, Zig, Nim, V, etc.

In my opinion, and as I consult often many PL bug trackers, there 
is a serious lack of methodology in all those "alt" languages, 
especially when they are hosted on GH...just to make some clicks.
