          Issue ID: 24720
           Summary: Can't alias __traits(getMember)
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

This is unexpected and extremely inconvenient:

struct T
{
        void myFun(int x) {}
}
T instance;

void test()
{
        __traits(getMember, instance, "myFun")(10); // no problem

        alias fun = __traits(getMember, instance, "myFun");
        fun(10); // error: please god, fix me
}
