What version of Phobos are you using? The source code of Phobos that 
comes with dmd 2.060 does not have the definition that you have shown.

In any case, according to the docs, it is SList that allows setting the 
front element, not DList:

import std.container;

void main()
{
   auto list = SList!int([1,2,3,4,5]);
   list.front = 3;
}
