           Summary: [tdpl] Multiple ranged case labels don't work
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

void classify(char c) {
   write("You passed ");
   switch (c) {

         writeln("a hash sign."); 
         break;
      case '0': .. case '9': 
         writeln("a digit."); 
         break;
      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a' .. case 'z': 
         writeln("an ASCII character."); 
         break;
      case '.', ',', ':', ';', '!', '?': 
         writeln("a punctuation mark."); 
         break;
      default:
         writeln("quite a character!");
         break;
   }
}

The code fails to compile. If I change the line:

      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a' .. case 'z': 

to:

      case 'A': .. case 'Z':

then it compiles.

      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a' .. case 'z': 

I'd say you have simply forgotten the colon after 'a'. With

      case 'A': .. case 'Z': case 'a': .. case 'z': 

it compiles.

Ouch. This is rather ironic in wake of the fact that I preached the helpfulness
of that ':'. Thanks, and apologies to everyone for the distraction.
