I found this code sample in vibe:

void connect(NetworkAddress addr)
	{
		enforce(.connect(m_ctx.socketfd, addr.sockAddr, addr.sockAddrLen) == 0, "Failed to connect UDP socket."~to!string(getLastSocketError()));
	}

What does mean ".connect"? Where I can find description of this syntax (dot + function name)?

. is the module-scope. Use it to dis-ambiguate between a module-global symbol and a function local symbol with same name.

my link is correct too. ;-)

but your is better.
