I'm using (DMD64 D Compiler v2.061) and don't see it, so it seems 
moving from v2.060 to v2.061 takes away some useful error 
messages which is bad.

I don't think making postblit accept const works - did it for 
you? If you just mean "this(const this)" it does make it compile 
- but that postblit is not called.

For example, in code below nothing is printed. Maybe there is a 
better signature - what did you use? Make postblit this(this) and 
it is printed. Back to the other example - it seems only 
this(this) is ever recognized and having this(this) is a problem 
with associative arrays.

Here is a related thread which in my mind is not resolved.
