1) Is this `cast` ugly?
2) if it's a regular file, is this still thread safe to use?


Without the `cast`, I got compiler error

https://run.dlang.io/is/h3S0eb
```
import std.stdio;
import std.algorithm;
import std.logger.core, std.logger.filelogger;
import std.range;

void main()
{
     // sharedLog = new shared(FileLogger)("/dev/null");

     static if (__VERSION__ < 2101)
	sharedLog = new FileLogger(io.stderr);
else
	sharedLog = (() @trusted => new shared(FileLogger)(stderr))();

}
```

Sigh, D is so broken on such basic stuff.
