Just wasted ~ 5 mins due to this.

struct Foo {
        void foo() {
                if(1)
                        assert(0);
                }
        }
}

enhance.d(7): Error: unrecognized declaration


Of course in my real code it reported

terminal.d(1681): Error: unrecognized declaration

turns out on line 943, I wrote `void thing() { if() .... } } `. missing the
opening { on the if


Yes, 700 lines apart in the real thing.


Perhaps you say this belongs in a linter but this could have been detected perhaps by seeing the close brace isn't on the same indent as its corresponding open line (not always true but can maybebe worth a warning anyway)

This struck me AGAIN last week. I copy/pasted some code to shuffle things into a nested function and brought in an extra }. The first error message issued was *hundreds of lines* past the actual error, then the remaining ones even further out.
