I'm having a little trouble using the hunt library with gdc. Does 
gdc not support static foreach at all? Is there some way to write 
code that it can understand, which does the same thing?

He calls it "DDMD."

Which version of GDC are you using?  Static foreach is a relatively new
feature, and GDC may not have picked it up yet.

GDC uses exactly the same front end as DMD (and LDC), so there is no
fundamental incompatibility. The only issue is that GDC is tied to the
GCC release cycle, so it may be a few releases behind DMD, and therefore
lack some newer features.  Eventually it will catch up, though.

The word "static" there can probably be removed and have it work 
exactly the same way. Worth a try.

 Does gdc not support static foreach at all?

only the newest gdc does, version 10. version 9, in most package 
managers, doesn't include it.

but if it is inside a function, normal foreach does the same 
thing anyway.
