There is a confusion somewhere. I have been distracted from QtD recently and
have not followed the NG either. Unless I sleepwalk, I couldn't try Don's
CTFE changes.

I have just tried to build the public branch of QtD with a recent dmd (
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/3fcc2344681ab9d31d1897188f36051c9beb247f)
on linux. The build has completed without errors.
