Visual D seems to lack support for the shortened methods syntax.

This prevents a simple Hello World from compiling when the user has a recent
copy of the Phobos src installed. That’s because VS doesn’t even to try
compiling it when it runs into an error during code analysis, as it seems.

Culprit appears to be Phobos PR #8713[0] which brought short.m.s to std.range.

ArokhSlade from the community Discord reports that their project compiles fine
when manually running the compiler via CLI.
