  • My PR is as minimal as possible (smaller, focused PRs are easier to review than big ones)
  • I have provided a detailed rationale explaining my changes
  • New or modified functions have Ddoc comments (with Params: and Returns:)

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.


If you have addressed all reviews or aren't sure how to proceed, don't hesitate to ping us with a simple comment.

I think 'subtype' is a bit confusing as it is overloaded with alias this and class subtyping. It's already used in the spec (first paragraph here and here). We could probably use a better term.
