import std.getopt;

void main(string[] args)
{
    string foo;
    getopt(args,
           "foo"         &foo
    );
}

Notice that a comma is missing after "foo". The errors leak into getopt:

bug_new.d(19): Error: '"foo"' is not of integral type, it is a string
bug_new.d(19): Error: 'foo' is not of integral type, it is a string
