Simple use cases like my example are not the problem.

There's an error I was getting the other day that doesn't give a 
line number, just a file.

Another one starts with "COMPILE".

Both of those required unrolling code and tinkering to work out 
what was wedged in their bonnet.

And of course I have no idea how to reproduce them either because 
they're deep in mixins in templated functions in templates in 
mixins.

I do not write normal code in D. But down in my meta rabbit hole 
is where all of D's real ultimate power is.
