[dmd-beta] For those who want to try out new features

[Rainer Schuetze]

Hi,

I just tried again, rebuilt dmd after clean, but the error persists 
(though it's different from the one reported in the bugzilla entry 
#3674). I have added a detailed description to the entry.

I think this has crawled into dmd with changes to the Type::covariant() 
function, but I have no clue why it didn't show up earlier (and why you 
don't see it).
