          Issue ID: 24707
           Summary: error message has bad attribute order
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
               URL: http://dlang.org/
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: turkeyman at gmail.com

I just got this error message:

  Candidate is: `f(T)(auto inout ref T a, auto inout ref T b)`


The function is declared as:

  auto ref inout(T) f(T)(auto ref inout T a, auto ref inout T b)


`auto ref` is a storage class, `inout T` is a type constructor... `auto inout
ref` is a confused concept that the compiler should never write in an error
message.

Please write (storage_class type_constructor type) in all error messages for
consistency and clarity
