Especially when you come back to it 2 years later and can dive right back in because the design is logical and the variables have names that make remembering easy! -edit: Oh, wait! Yours is template metaprograming. Never mind! Our Forgotten Astronomy | Object Oriented Programming with C++

As a very satisfied PostSharp user, I am very interested in this ! The lack of some extended meta-mechanism for creating "code contracts" that are lightweight in terms of code footprint, appear as "attributes/annotations" (using that term in the sense of C#'s Attributes), and design-time readable ... is, imho, a significant omission in C#'s evolution, and a logical extension of C#s strongly-compiled "ethos." I will definitely be testing this new initiative. «The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled» Plutarch

Thank you mr Richard, this is more a realistic approach to what I'm looking for, thank you again!

Yeah, supposedly a snail told that joke on a guy's doorstep. The guy threw him a good 100 feet away. 5 years later there is a knock on the door. He looks down and see's the snail who says: "Hey! What the hell was that about?!"

It is a disease which needs a cure that many developers think they know how to make the world an infinitely better place. Idioms that are successful take over the market place. Object oriented programming and relational databases are examples. In contrast attempts to create solutions that do not require coding have existed since at least the 80s yet no one uses any of them.

For those who didn't realize this but need to run Win11, for example, to test against: I have systems that do not support TPM 2.0 so they refuse to install Windows 11, but Hyper-V implements its own version...so even though the host won't run Win11, I have Win11 running in VMs on those systems.
