OK, but this feature can be also useful. For example:

class Foo
{
	int i;
}

void main(string[] args)
{
	Foo f;

	//Oops!
	writeln(f.i);
}

It's definetly bug, but compiler hasn't got any mistakes. I know 
that I'll have seg fault at runtime, but see an error at compile 
time will be much better. Have you got any plans to impove this 
situation?
