           Summary: Allow delete to work on non-lvalues
           Product: D
           Version: 2.011
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: spec
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: brunodomedeiros+bugz gmail.com


The following simplified use case fails:
  delete new Object();
because delete only works on lvalues (in order to set them to null). However,
delete'ing non-lvalues is a perfectly valid use case, and should be allowed as
well.

I think it's far too late for this enhancement, delete will likely not be
improved since it's scheduled for deprecation.
