I find it predictable, not intuitive, but literally predictable. 
I dont think theres chance its changeable given the number of 
order dependent bugs that exist and O(N^N^N) chances it only 
happens to work in existing code by trail and error where N is 
lines of code in the industry code bases which I hear is high

I think this is why d compiles fast compared to c++ and rust

I hope all'y'all upstream change your policy on this and just 
teach it somehow, spec-ify it and give basic tools for brute 
forcing it
