--- Comment #4 from Dennis <dkorpel at live.nl> ---
> it is helpful to have a way to track breaking changes or additions like these in changelog

It is listed in the changelog of 2.105:

> DMD Compiler bug fixes
> (...)
> 29. Bugzilla 24025: Expressions contained in parentheses should not be assumed to be C casts

It doesn't have a spec change because the grammar already allowed calling a
parenthesized expression. It's only an implementation bug that it was
considered a C-style cast. While breaking changes warrant an explicit changelog
entry, fixes for rejects-valid bugs usually only require a bugzilla issue to be
closed. Is that something you want to see changed?
