While trying to build the Juno library with DMD 2.037, i got a bunch or errors like:

juno\com\core.d(295): Error: function juno.com.core.GUID.opEquals type
signature should be const bool(ref const(GUID)) not bool(GUID other)

Which can be replicated with:
////////////////////////////////
struct Foo
{
    bool opEquals(Foo f) const
    {
        return true;
    }
}

void Bar()
{
    Foo f;
}
////////////////////////////////

As mentioned in the post @
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.learn&article_id=18407,
the error seems to have been caused by changeset 260, which was made to fix bug
3433.

The error message is correct, and the code compiles if you change the signature
to ref const Foo. The spec clearly states:
"If structs declare an opEquals member function, it should follow the following
form:

struct S {
    int opEquals(ref const S s) { ... }
}"


A key point in the forum discussion, which was missing from the bug report was this comment:

> I think it should be allowed to have a signature like this:
> bool opEquals(T other) const
> inside T as long as T can be implicitly cast from const to mutable.

Changing to an enhancement request.

Shouldn't the spec say 'bool opEquals' instead of 'int opEquals' ?
