Since when has "forward reference" meant this?  In my vocabulary, a forward
reference is when you refer to something before it's declared.  Which isn't
happening here.  A forward _declaration_, OTOH, is when you declare something
and then define it later.  This would be a forward declaration except that in
this example, S is never defined.

As such, what we have isn't a forward anything.  So of course it's a badly
written error message.

A better error would be:

mod.d(7): unable to resolve declaration of type S - size is unknown
