(This is kind of my first patch. Not using a patch command yet.)

Inside the module std.range.SListRange, at about line 1586 there is:

struct SListRange(T, Topology topology = Topology.flexible)
{
private:
    struct Node { T _value; Node * _next; }
    Node * _root;



The D2 specs here say: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/struct.html

A struct can be prevented from being nested by using the static attribute, but then of course it will not be able to access variables from its enclosing scope.

I think currently all D structs are static, that feature is not implemented yet, but once that will be implemented the Node of SListRange will be 3 words long instead of 2 (and probably in practice 4 words), so I suggest to modify the code like this:


struct SListRange(T, Topology topology = Topology.flexible)
{
private:
    static struct Node { T _value; Node * _next; }
    Node * _root;


Likewise, I suggest to add the static attribute to nested structs in Phobos everywhere it's not necessary to access outer names.

Make sure you include the patch keyword when you add a patch, this way Walter/Don/Andrei can find it more easily :)
