I can reproduce with a combination of "static foreach" and "tupleof", I
hope we can find a solution.

I don't see this. If the error reported in the output window is already
wrong, it is the compiler to blaim. Visual D doesn't modify the output.

I see a one line offset with "Find References", though. (And a crash :-/ )

That happens if the foreach body is translated to a delegate literal. It
should not be new to this version of Visual D and very much depends on
the compiler generated debug info.

I suspect this happened due to some changes to the default library
search paths, that are migrated upwards, but not downwards with 0.47 IIRC.

Let's hope so. Thanks for reporting.
