          Issue ID: 24136
           Summary: Support shortened methods syntax
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: visuald

          Reporter: desisma@heidel.beer

Visual D seems to lack support for the shortened methods syntax.

This prevents a simple Hello World from compiling when the user has a recent copy of the Phobos src installed. That’s because VS doesn’t even to try compiling it when it runs into an error during code analysis, as it seems.

Culprit appears to be Phobos PR #8713[0] which brought short.m.s to std.range.

ArokhSlade from the community Discord reports that their project compiles fine when manually running the compiler via CLI.
