Hm. I'm almost sure I've done that before. And no, I use 1.0.

If my examples don't work, I think it should be considered a bug (in the design
if not the implementation).

On seconds though, you point out that a struct can be returned. This will
actually be done by value (returning a struct with an int[4] inside will copy
4*int.sizeof bytes) D might be interpreting returning int[4] in that way and
refusing (that could get real nasty with some template code computing n=1e6 or
some such).

If that is the case, why does it treat it as values on return and as references
on pass?
