digitalmars.D - DIP 1007--"future symbol"--Formal Review

reply Mike Parker <aldacron gmail.com> writes:
The first stage of the formal review for DIP 1007 [1], "'future 
symbol' Compiler Concept", is now underway. From now until 11:59 
PM ET on June 21 (3:59 AM GMT on June 22), the community has the 
opportunity to provide last-minute feedback. If you missed the 
preliminary review [2], this is your chance to provide input.

At the end of the feedback period, I will submit the DIP to 
Walter and Andrei for their final decision. Thanks in advance to 
those of you who participate.

This has probably been said somewhere before, but could you give 
a short explanation of what the formal review is, and how it's 
supposed to be different from the preliminary review? Thank you 
in advance.

Otherwise, the whole DIP seems pretty well thought-out to me. I 
particularly like the idea of a core-only  __future attribute, 
that can be replaced with a globally available  future attribute 
eventually.

The basic idea is in the README. I'll be revising it a bit in the 
near future based on the lessons I've learned so far to clarify 
the process, but I want to keep this thread focused on feedback. 
Thanks!

Sorry, my question was poorly formulated. What I meant was it 
would be nice if you gave us either a short explanation of what 
these processes are, or a link to one (which you just did, thank 
you!), and more importantly, it would be nice to do this 
systematically with each of these announcements :)

And an implementation too, which has been around for a while:

The feedback period has ended. I'll announce the final decision 
once it's been made.
