I just updated to 2.064.2

Okay 2 is fixed, leftovers of other languages in my mind.
Also took care of 3 I think but I may still be missing something.

Here is what I have now..


class Vector(int N, T) if (N <= 3) {
     T[N] data;

     this()
     {
     	data[] = 0;
     }

     @property ref T opDispatch(string fieldName, Args ...)(Args 
args)
         if (Args.length < 2 && fieldName.length == 1 && 
toOffset(fieldName) < N)
     {
	    int offset = fieldName[0 .. 1] - 'x';
	    if (args.length != 0)
	    	return data[offset];
	    else
	    	return data[offset] = args[0];
     }
}

Same error.
