Bug 5939 seems to be a Phobos design flaw, and this one is probably related.
Unfortunately, I don't think we can fix the problem other than by
ripping all Voldemort types out of Phobos. Voldemort Types now appear
to be a concept that has tragically flawed semantics, and also has
poor performance (see
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5939). Removing them
would be a big change to make this late in a release cycle.
I don't know what to do here.
