--- Comment #1 from Ketmar Dark <ketmar at ketmar.no-ip.org> ---
it's actually a grammar issue. what `() => { writeln("testing"); }` does is
returns `void delegate () { writeln("testing"); }`.

i.e. `=> { writeln("testing"); }` is correctly parsed as *expression* which
returns delegate.

another thing is that compiler doesn't emit warnings by default. compiling the
code with "-w" flag gives this message:

Warning: calling z01.main.__lambda1 without side effects discards return value
of type void function() @safe, prepend a cast(void) if intentional

i think that the report can be closed as "not-a-bug". we'd better spam bugzilla
with "make warnings opt-out instead of opt-in" requests. ;-)
