It seems that Phobos won't allow opening a file that is being written to by another program. I understand that this is unsafe behavior. However, for my purposes, I don't care and want to do it anyhow. (My purposes are that I have a program periodically dumping data to a file and every once in a while I want another program to just parse the results and print a summary to the screen). I usually receive a message like: std.stream.OpenException: Cannot open or create file <filename> This occurs even when I can open the file in vi, etc. Is this a conscious design decision? If not, is it a legitimate bug?
