Walter,

 I assume this is due to dmd still supporting C style casts ?

--------------------------------
import std.c.stdio;

class Foo {
}

template typename( T : Object ) {
	private static char[] _name;
	static char[] name() { if ( _name ) return _name;
	_name = (T.classinfo.name).dup;
//	_name = T.classinfo.name.dup; // works
	return _name;
	}
}

int main( char[][] args ) {
	Foo f = new Foo();

 	printf( "typename!(Foo).getname=%.*s\n", typename!(Foo).name
);

	return 0;
}

//
//no property 'classinfo' for type 'Foo'

Yes. I won't bother fixing this bug, since C style casts are going away. It's an example of why they should go <g>.
