Thanks for looking into this, I'll check your PR.

Are these errors occurring when Clang generates the PCH or later 
in the semantic pass? There might be errors during the 
instantiation of member functions of class templates because 
Calypso tries to instantiate everything (whereas Clang 
instantiates them lazily), but it's no big deal, later they'll be 
made silent.


BTW I just pushed support for function template instantiation.

So lately thanks to a bit of free time there has been quite a lot 
of new features implemented: overloaded operators, function 
templates, and groundwork for class value types (they were added 
to the AST as a new semi-hackish kind of type, they make mapping 
any C++ type possible but they can't be used directly from D code 
yet).

Operators should make std::map usable, so I'm going to resume 
testing further STL types.
