If you look at puffoflogic's comment history you can see they are maliciously claiming incorrect things about zig over and over. Here I am refuting them again.

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1291

This is an open issue from 2018 that I opened that specifically acknowledges this as a valuable use case that should work.

Don't let puffoflogic put words in my mouth. They are a troll account.
