struct Foo {
     int n;
}

void main( ) {
     static assert(is(typeof(Foo.n) == int));
}

Yup, it compiles. Mayhap it shouldn't, but it does. Of course, trying
to use it for anything but typeof gives you an error. From this we can
conclude that either this behavior is also buggy, or getMember should
work that way.
