Sample code:
=================================
class foo{
  shared this(){}
}
void main(){
  auto x = new shared(foo)();
}
=================================

Result with dmd 2.037
(bug report lists 2.036, but that's because 2.037 was not an option at the
time)

$ dmd test.d
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (this) of type shared(foo) to
test.foo


I have no idea what inspired me to originally try this variation of a constructor since dropping the shared keyword results in code that compiles. Moving the shared keyword after the constructor declaration (AKA this() shared{}) results in a parse error.

This code compiles and runs with no errors on dmd 2.053
