Undescriptive linker error. (bug?)

module mymodule;
class Foo{}
Foo Bar()
{
Foo foo();
return foo;
}
int main()
{
auto foo = Bar();
return 0;
}
This code doesn't compile with a linker error that there's a
missing symbol for `Foo Bar()` on windows.
After all, `Foo foo();` isn't legitimate D.
But why does it return a linker error?
shouldn't it give an error that is more descriptive about a class
instance being wrong?
I feel like this would be a common thing people try to write.
Especially in templates this would become difficult to narrow
down.
