Name lookup in D is simple: it starts with the scope in which the name is used,
and moves outward until it finds a symbol of that name, regardless of how the
symbol is used.  The function 'Bar' is inserted into Foo's namespace before its
return type is resolved.  When the return type is resolved, it finds the
function Bar() itself instead of the class Bar at module scope, and you get an
error.

Marking this as invalid unless it can be proven otherwise.
