'with' bug?

[Regan Heath]

After reading this:
http://yuiblog.com/blog/2006/04/11/with-statement-considered-harmful/

I thought, does D have the same "problem", and according to:
http://dlang.org/statement.html#WithStatement

No, it doesn't.  D detects local variable shadowing and produces an  
error.  But, then I thought does that apply to global variables as well?   
Turns out, no it doesn't.

// [withd.d]
import std.stdio;

int global;

struct S
{
   int global;
   int local;
}

void main()
{
   int local;
   S s;

   with(s)
   {
     local = 3;  // withd.d(18): Error: with symbol withd.S.local is  
shadowing local symbol withd.main.local
     global = 5;
   }

   writefln("local = %d", local);
   writefln("global = %d", global);

   writefln("s.local = %d", s.local);
   writefln("s.global = %d", s.global);
}

The above (if you comment out the line producing the expected error)  
compiles and runs.  It updates s.global at least.  The risk is fairly  
small, I guess, that someone will mis-type a member name, and hit a global  
with that mis-typed name, but it's possible.  And in that case it would  
compile and then do something unexpected.

Should I raise a bug for this?
