That's not a surprise because dmd allows nonsense attributes. 
It's also not a surprise that somebody can hit in a such 
situation and deduce some sence from erroneous syntax 
construction. I often meet following:

public class Foo
{
    public int x;
    ....
}

Public is redundant, but code works, and one coming from C++/C# 
can think that's correct for considerable amount of time because 
this is what expected based on experience with other languages.
