This is a semantically wrong D2 program, the programmer has used a "&=" instead
of "|=" to build a flag result:


enum Flags { NONE   = 0b00,
             FIRST  = 0b01,
             SECOND = 0b10
}
Flags foo(int x) {
    Flags result = Flags.NONE;
    if (x < 10)
        result |= Flags.FIRST;
    else
        result &= Flags.SECOND; // line 10
    return result;
}
void main() {}


The D compiler can find this problem in the code at line 10 because in that
program the variable "result" is certantly zero after the assignment with
Flags.SECOND, so it's an error or it's useless code.
