           Summary: Static code does not ignore instance names during name
                    lookup

In the code
==========
module scratch;

import std.stdio;

int[ 3 ] x;

struct S {

    int[ 2 ] x;

    static void foo() {
        writeln( x[2] );
    }
}
=========

I would expect that the static method performed static name lookup. In this
case,
that would resolve the x[] reference to the variable at module scope.

Instead, the reference is apparently resolved to the member, despite the member being an illegal reference. If the [2], which generates an "index out of bounds" error, is replaced with [1], then the compiler proceeds to issue a "this required for reference to member" error.

Obviously, .x would work in this case, but I think this may be a general bug. Alternatively, could someone provide a pointer to the rules for name lookup?

That would mean that an imported module which has a module-scoped variable or property function with the same name as a non-static field could hijack that field instead of giving you an error. It would be dangerous to allow such behavior.

You can always use the dot prefix to lookup module-scoped variables, via
writeln(.x[2]).
