That's not completely true. All that's required is that the code can be
parsed successfully. It can be semantically nonsense and the compiler
wouldn't care, for example this will compile, even though it's complete
garbage:

	version(none) {
		NonExistentType x = nonExistentVar;
		static assert(0);
		NoType YesParsingStillContinuesHere()(z = y+w ? 1 : "")
			if (is(a == b)) // a and b are nonsense symbols
		in { static assert(0); }
		body {
			gar(bage) = hahaha(cast(el)ation);
			{{{}}{}{{}}}
		}
		pragma(no, such, __trait(nonsense));
	}
