Andrei:Hope you agree with yourself :o)."Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." --Walt Whitman. The tagged attribute for unions is an additive change. Even if you don't implement it now, people have the freedom to design and think about it. Bye, bearophile

We don't expect Walter et all to rest after the first stable version of D2 :P
