11654 :: Proc inheritance for distinct type in Nim 2.0.0

  If a type of distinct string is created, does it automatically inherits the move semantics procs of string like =destroy, =sink and the likes, or does it have to be explicitly declared. Also is there any consequences to memory safety if these procs are not inherited

  Well it does not "inherit" but yes the base types hooks are implicitly called, but you can override them if you want.

  Pls can you give code examples of overrides for the move semantics procs for a distinct string type
