Whether or not it's a #wontfix, I'm gonna keep complaining until it gets
fixed. ;-)

The current behaviour is pretty much completely useless 100% of the
time, so in keeping with D's philosophy of catering to the most common
use cases, this should be fixed.  It doesn't make sense that we have to
work around this every single time, when it doesn't even serve a single
useful use case.
