Surely the error should say "need 'this' to access member yuiop" or something along those lines.

The same happens if yuiop is a method, or even a case of the 'deprecated attribute overrides static block' bug.

I'm not sure it's an error on D.
I think it's an error but I think Walter doesn't think it's an error.

for sure using the relatively new typeof(this) will get to the static members
(does it?)
unfortunatly http://www.digitalmars.com/d/class.html doesn't clarify it.

I'm certain all internal errors are bugs in dmd/phobos.

Walter loves really helpful names like e2ir for his symbols.

What do you think Walter thinks it's supposed to mean?

Anyway, I'm told the bug's been fixed now.

As will specifying the class name, or using the member name by itself if within the class scope.

But nobody's trying to get to a static member here, so what's it to do with anything?
