digitalmars.D.announce - Turn output of -vtemplates into compiler-messages and show template

reply Per =?UTF-8?B?Tm9yZGzDtnc=?= <per.nordlow gmail.com> writes:
D just got a better formatting of existing template usage sorted 
by descending unique instantiation count via the flag 
`-vtemplates`. Each template that has a least one instantiation 
is now printed using standard compiler diagnostics formatting for 
easy navigation to the point of its declaration.

Additionally, a new feature is to instead of

     `-vtemplates`

use

     `-vtemplates=list-instances`

. Then the location(s) for each instance of each instantiated 
template is printed along with information telling whether the 
instantiation was implicit or explicit.

A good example of the behavior can be found in the test file [2]

Nice.

People also might find it useful to filter for just one template 
(and show all the instances).

I proposed that feature as, say,

     `vtemplates=list-instances:Template1,Template2,...`

. Just complain a bit and I'll get momentum to add that too ;)
