Struct "inheritance"

[Vidar Wahlberg]

Sending this again, got an error the first time and it appears like it 
was not sent.

I see, thanks, that does solve the problem. It is slightly confusing 
that you don't get this kind of error for "Foo" in "Bar.d", though 
(compiler seems to understand that I mean the class "Foo" rather than 
the module "Foo" in this code: "_foo = new Foo(Struct(1))").

Also, is this really ambiguous? Are there any cases where you can have a 
module name followed by a parentheses, i.e. "<module>("?

I'm using gdc-4.6 (Debian 4.6.2-4).
Using the Struct from above I can easily recreate the error:
struct Struct {
   int baz;
   bool opEquals(const Struct s) const {
     return baz == s.baz;
   }
}
