Found this in the "thermoplyae" excerpt.

PATCH: dsymbol.c, ArrayScopeSymbol::search(), line 1062
    //printf("ArrayScopeSymbol::search('%s', flags = %d)\n", ident->toChars(),
flags);
-    if (ident == Id::length ||  ident == Id::dollar)
+    if (ident == Id::dollar)
    {    VarDeclaration **pvar;

I have already made the changes to druntime (svn 192) and Phobos (svn 1319), so
that they'll pass all unit tests once this change has been made.

COMMENT:
>From the changelog for DMD 0.115 (Mar 7, 2005!!!):
 $ can now be used instead of length inside an array's []. It represents the
length of the array. This is a trial feature, if it works out then these will
happen in sequential releases:

   1. length will become deprecated inside [].
   2. length will be removed as the implicitly declared length, and it will be
just another identifier.
