__traits(compiles, ...) returns true for syntactic garbage and for semantically incorrect code

Either I do not understand the work of this feature or it is an
obvious bug:
import std.stdio;
import std.conv;
void main()
{
enum string expr = "DMD compiles this garbage ... iiiii - \"
#### $$$";
enum bool bTest = __traits(compiles, expr);
enum bool bTest2 = __traits(compiles, "int i = q{};");
writeln("bTest: " ~ to!string(bTest));
writeln("bTest2: " ~ to!string(bTest2));
}
Produces (tested with dmd32 2.060 and dmd32 2.059):
bTest: true
bTest2: true

Could you please somebody explain this?
Thanks,
Pavel
