digitalmars.D - Typedef.toString?
Hello! After replacing native type by std.typecons.Typedef I am faced with fact what all typeDefValue.to!string was silently changed its output to output of Typedef struct itself. It was too hard find all this inclusions. Maybe it is need to implement simple toString method inside of Typedef struct? Or just disable it at all?

I doubt this behaviour is intended, so it's likely an oversight in Typedef's implementation.

Because if we wrap string type into it, string can leave Typedef wrapper unhindered.On Thursday, 22 February 2018 at 20:26:17 UTC, Meta wrote:No, Typedef just needs a custom implementation of `toString`.Should be disabled also: factory opCmp opEquals toHash ?find all this inclusions.
