--- Comment #1 from Steven Schveighoffer <schveiguy at yahoo.com> ---
Actually, the issue is that the thing you are checking isn't valid syntax.

For example:

TBounds.Margins.Left;

Error: need 'this' for 'Margins' of type '@property TBounds()'

What you need is either the typeof, or to use an instance instead of the type
itself:


    mixin(`static assert(__traits(compiles, TButton.init.Margins.Left));`);
    mixin(`static assert(__traits(compiles, typeof(TButton.Margins.Left)));`);
