With dmd trunk trying to compile vibed after fixing several array declarations from C style to D style I'm getting this error that I do not understand:
-----------
Building vibe-d 0.7.21-rc.2 configuration "libevent", build type debug.
Running dmd...
/home/mingo/dev/d/src/install/bin/../../../src/phobos/std/container/array.d(432): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ((inout inout(Range) __ctmp3047 = 0;
 , __ctmp3047).this(this, 0LU, this.length())) of type inout(Range) to Range
source/vibe/core/drivers/timerqueue.d(29):        while looking for match for BinaryHeap!(Array!(TimeoutEntry), "a.timeout > b.timeout")
source/vibe/core/drivers/libevent2.d(74): Error: template instance vibe.core.drivers.timerqueue.TimerQueue!(TimerInfo, 10000L) error instantiating
-----------

Any clue from the experts ?
