Thanks for the beta Iain.

This looks like a breaking change that can affect people. There 
should be a deprecation (6-12 months) period to give people 
notice to fix their code, without immediately breaking code.

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15405 and 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 show there was no 
discussion on deprecation, despite authors knowing that there is 
code in the wild using this.

It does not affect me, but in light in recent discussions, it 
again gives a bad picture of D and maintainability of code 
developed in D.
