I found an inconsistency in the D Documentation.  In class.html, under the 
heading "Field Properties" there is an example:

class Foo
{
    int x;
}
...
void test(Foo foo)
{
    size_t o;

    o = Foo.x.offsetof;   // yields 8
    o = foo.x.offsetof;   // error, .offsetof an int type
}My own test code contradicts this, note that the error condition is 
opposite the example:class Foo {    int x;}int main() {    Foo foo = new 
Foo;    size_t o;    o = Foo.x.offsetof; // error: 'this' is only allowed in 
non-static                        //         member functions 
// error: this for x needs to be type Foo not                        // 
type int    o = foo.x.offsetof; // yields 8}

Starting to seem like a bug to me. The following code:

   class Foo
   {
     int x;
   }

   int main(char[][] args)
   {
     Foo foo = new Foo();
     foo.x.offsetof;
   }

gives a runtime assert error after main:
   Error: AssertError Failure test.d(11)

Thats your main() not returning... A better error message would be appreciated.

time (which incindently has a return from main) that I never noticed that.
