Your report was not ignored. It's that changing it would break existing code, 
something I get routinely excoriated about.

The -mv switch was added to deal with this problem, and is mentioned in the 
comments on the issue.

There have also been two PRs by marler8997 about it.

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7778
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7878

though I'm not sure why he closed the second.
