Oh sorry. Seems like the bot linking to bugzilla even for drafts would be useful.

Error, unsure if related: ``` failed to build 'D:\a\dmd\dmd\compiler\test\test_results\d_do_test.exe' d_do_test-ut.obj : fatal error LNK1179: invalid or corrupt file: duplicate COMDAT '_D3std9algorithm9searching__T8skipOverZ__TQnTAyaTQeZQxFNaNfKQpQrZb' ``` Update: possibly caused by https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16687

Surely `(int[]).front` is wrong - *(Type).Identifier* only works for type properties. Edit: Sorry, you are correct that the suggestion is wrong.

I prefer [Dennis's suggestion](https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/3871#issuecomment-2210901307), I think that's clearer. (I don't have merge rights).

I don't think `if (ref x = y)` actually compiles yet. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/16428 is not merged, and I don't know if it covers that case.

@Bolpat I think it's confusing. There should at least be a note that the reference compiler doesn't implement it. > it ought to be because the respective DIP was accepted....

Ok, thanks. The dmd pull is merged now anyway.

OK. Perhaps it would be good to allow the reader to manually switch to markdown? A hint could be displayed when ```d is present in a non-markdown post.
