D - Porting from DLI to DMD 0.64

- Russ Lewis (9/29) May 12 2003 Well, I don't plan to intermix DLI and DMD, so I can just get used to it...
I just noticed that the DMD Linux version is out! YAY!
So I downloaded 0.64 and have been attempting to compile my old DLI code
with DMD. I have found a few minor problems:
* DLI supported [n..] and [..m] syntaxes but these don't work with DMD.
It would be cool if DMD supported these as well.
* When using associative arrays, they are reverse-indexed, unlike other
types of arrays. So to declare an associative array, indexed by class
Symbol, of arrays of references to class NFA_State, you have to declare:
NFA_State[] [Symbol] array;
but in DLI you would declare:
NFA_State[Symbol] [] array;
which I think makes a lot more sense.
