 But a solution to the literal problem would be impressive.
Interesting... So it seems that its time for user defined literals? I saw another post in D.learn about big int literals. Also it would much nicer to initialize Date with human readable format.... Maybe something like this: --- // l denotes literal or even without l{} Date date = l{2008-01-07}; --- class Date { Date literal(string) { Date result; //... do the job on compile time: //parse and create proper class return result } } --- ... when class defines compile time constructor function it tries to apply it for user literal. Just quick idea without deeper analysis... What do you think? BR Marcin Kuszczak
