std.stream.EndianStream ...

[nescire]

I have trouble understanding this compiler error I ran into while using the std.stream.EndianStream class.

When trying to compile:

EndianStream es = new EndianStream( new MemoryStream() );
ubyte b;
es.read( b );

dmd gives the error:

function std.stream.EndianStream.read called with argument types:
	(ubyte)
matches both:
	std.stream.EndianStream.read(short)
and:
	std.stream.EndianStream.read(dchar)

Which seems to suggest the EndianStream class does not have a void read( out ubyte ) method, even though it should inherit it from FilterStream.

And the following code compiles:

EndianStream es = new EndianStream( new MemoryStream() );
ubyte b;
(cast(InputStream) es).read( b );


Could someone explain? Am I missing something obvious, or is it a compiler bug?
