Hum, so for example, Kuehne should not list test cases in the bug comments?

According to the above, I guess I'll clone #209. Although the bug was 
not *marked* as fixed, the original example became (mysteriously?) fixed 
on one of the DMD releases, and the new example is 7 comments deep.
And #80 stays as is, then.
