Confusion regarding struct lifecycle

[Matt Elkins via Digitalmars-d-learn]

After some more time spent on (the non-reduced version of) this, 
I think there is a decent chance I am really just experiencing 
another manifestation of a bug I reported a little bit ago: 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15661

The good news is that this is now marked as resolved, so 
hopefully the next build will have the patch and maybe my 
problems will go away :).
