De nada. I vaguely remembered being confronted by this one, but didn't know
it was a bug (my code wasn't as clear as yours). I now realize that my
coding in D is a least partially made of such tricks.

What bugs (!) me is that a+(b+c) didn't create an error, whereas (a+b)+c
did... I first tried to define opAdd_r so that the compiler could try
c.opAdd_r((a+b)), but to no avail...

As for the line numbers, yes it's hard and it's reason enough to put this on
bugzilla. Maybe even as 2 different tickets.

I remember having other incomplete error messages some days ago. I should
strive to note them and put them on puremagic.
