What's wrong with that message?
(I didn't get your joke here - if it was one.)

Removing the ';'  after (i = 2)  should put you in
a better position to get another message:

if (i = 2)
{
    writefln("We shouldn't be here");
}


"Error: '=' does not give a boolean result"

Since you'd probably prefer your program to
actually wotk, you might even want to try this:

if (i == 2)
{
    writefln("We shouldn't be here");
}

But as I mentioned initially - I probably didn't catch
the joke ...
