Yes but in the meantime I find strange that you have just 
approved a PR that will have the same effect [with issue 2].

I probably reviewed it on my phone - the github app is very good 
at hiding lots of information I would have otherwise spotted on 
desktop. :-)

The PR was too late for the beta, but this is the basic change: 
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/3740/files#diff-5cbe9748431681a766784b1bd997444d58d436a26a345b32397daae478f85c5dR907

Please note that this only supports the C runtimes for VS 2015 or later. 
If you are using the mingw import libraries, you'll have to switch to 
the corresponding version, too. Without a VS environment, 
-mscrtlib=vcruntime140 should do, but the tests had to add

-Lvcruntime140.lib -Llegacy_stdio_definitions.lib 
-L/NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt120.lib

on the command line to do that.

You have the source code to druntime, can't you just copy the 
definitions you want

The compiler has some mangling or attributes deduction bug when 
compiling or linking tagged self-referencing algebraic.

The GitHub job:

https://github.com/libmir/mir-ion/runs/5229969072?check_suite_focus=true


I report the bug here because issues.dlang.org doesn't like my 
email:

The e-mail address you entered (   my GMAIL   ) didn't pass our 
syntax checking for a legal email address. A legal address must 
contain exactly one ' ', and at least one '.' after the  . 
Currently, registering using Gmail addresses is not allowed due 
to spam. It also must not contain any illegal characters.

Stuff like https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18362

And https://dlang.org/changelog/pending.html#actual-dynamiclibrary

This is gonna be a good release I think!

Thanks. Regarding:
https://dlang.org/changelog/2.099.0.html#allow_casting_from_typetuple_to_typetuple

I don't understand why this is allowed:

```d
alias Tuple(T...) = T;

void foo()
{
     Tuple!(int, int) tup;

     auto foo = cast(long) tup;
     pragma(msg, typeof(foo)); // (int, int)
}
```
Casting 2 values to one type is weird, and why does it not affect 
the result type?
