This may be a bigger bug because I've noticed a lot of times when 
I do things Visual D simply either ignores.

For example, if I'm stepping through some code using F11 to step 
in to and I have function that uses another function like:

if (foo(bar())

I will step in to bar but afterwards not in to foo.

If I do a go to definition on foo I get 3 possibilities...

One for the interface, one for the class, and one for the derived 
class.

But clicking on any one of them does not take me anywhere.

It seems there is some bug in the resolving of symbols in visual 
D. It might be related to these relative paths.

I think we already talked about this in some way and there was 
some issues with how D resolved paths and it solved some other 
issue. It might be a pattern that Visual D uses based on the old 
code. I don't remember the details though.

I code is too complex to upload and dustmiting it doesn't work.

D:\dmd2\windows\bin\dustmite --strip-comments --split *.bat:lines 
D:\.dustmite "build.dustmite.bat 2>&1 | find \"Internal error\""
Suspicious file found: D:\.dustmite\build.dustmite.bat
You should use a clean copy of the source tree.
If it was your intention to include this file in the file-set to 
be reduced,
re-run dustmite with the --force option.

Not sure why it is using .dustmite in the root directory. It used 
to do it in the project directory.
