An notable case of AI slop, agents use the most modern version of 
D, ignoring the constraints of self-hosting.

This just made my 
[day](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/22802/files#diff-862192b33df815981dcb4a8a49bc7dc572506b444a7dc034fde3643f887e2982R2239)

```d
while (auto tsa = t.isTypeSArray())
```

So what you can see here is so funny. This is indeed a valid D 
construct but not yet available for the compiler. Agents have no 
notions of that. So very obviously errors, when trying to self 
host:

> src/dmd/dsymbolsem.d(2239): Error: expression expected, not auto
> src/dmd/dsymbolsem.d(2239): Error: found tsa when expecting )

[etc](https://buildkite.com/dlang/dmd/builds/45977/steps/canvas?sid=019d1d38-c7b0-441e-81d0-99ccf246b6f4)...

What's the point ?

1. loss of time reviewing
2. if you publish what you think, the poster will eventually fix, 
but nonetheless you'll just have a contributor which has no 
interest in D

Have a great D.
