i don't think this is compiler bug, it's just how it works. yet 
this is another thing one must remember when writing library - 
never use struct predefenitions(or any other forward refs).
so concluding all of this, it is clear this is a derelict library 
bug, and that we also need something to allow rewrite defenitions 
at least at module level, if nothing like this already exists.
