Not overloading integer addition would be bad, because that's just yet another evil bad design inherited from C++, and if we're gonna implement std.jquery, we had better do it right and overload all built-in operators on all built-in types. And of course, the new integer addition function must use template metaprogramming and ranges, because that's where we want D to go right now, so we must also make module-level template operator overloading possible, and make mockup integer types for input / forward / bidirectional / random access ranges for adequate unittest coverage. There should also be ddoc comments thoroughly explaining all possible cases of integer addition along with their expected results. This should be reinforced by appropriate in/out contracts, too, which means we'll have to dig up that ugly old thread about why the current DbC implementation in D is flawed. All in all, I think this is a good direction to go in, but it may require too many language changes, which Walter probably wouldn't approve since it destabilizes the language. Perhaps there's a way to do it as a library extension using version(), static-if blocks, and arcane metaprogramming tricks involving __traits and CTFE. But Andrei and the other core devs is too busy to be working on low-level stuff like this, so where are those invisible champions who will push the PR through to completion? C'mon, people, stop writing essays on the forum, and get back onto GitHub; be the change that you wish to see happen! T -- There are four kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.
