A case of forward template forward reference (I am not sure this is actually a
bug):


import std.traits;
auto foo() {
    alias ReturnType!foo T;
    return 0;
}
void main() {}


DMD 2.052 shows (it's not a regression):

...\dmd\src\phobos\std\traits.d(122): Error: template instance forward
reference of foo
...\dmd\src\phobos\std\traits.d(105): Error: forward reference to foo
...\dmd\src\phobos\std\traits.d(122): Error: template instance
std.traits.staticLength!(foo) error instantiating

Also happens in D1, as described in issue 2885. (I'm closing 2885 as the report there isn't quite to-the-point.)
