import std.typecons: RefCounted;

struct S
{
    int x;
    RefCounted!S s;
}

void main()
{
    S s;
    s.x = 1;
    s.s.x = 2;
    s.s.s.x = 3;

    assert(s.x == 1);
    assert(s.s.x == 2);
    assert(s.s.s.x == 3);
}

2.067.1: Compiles and passes asserts.
2.068.2, 2.069.2: segfault
2.070.2, 2.071.0: "no size yet for forward reference" errors
git master (bc74f4a): "std/typecons.d(4739): Error: forward reference to
(*this._store)._payload"

Marking this as a phobos regression. I have a reduction, but that works up to
2.069, so there may be something else going on. Filing that separately.
