 I worked on reducing the error to a small example, and I filed a related bug:

 In the process of reducing the error, I guess I lost some of the context for
the
 error, but I think it seems to be related to the assignment of FALSE in
structure.d:
 #   FALSE = { b:false, type:TYPE.BOOLEAN, access:ACCESS.READ },


Sweet, thanks JCC.  : )  I can code okay I think, but I'm really inept when it
comes to managing open source projects.  I haven't filed a bug report before,
and I still have troubles with SVN.

I was ignoring the bug and working on porting to DMD 2.000 (which was released
earlier than 1.020 and doesn't seem to have the bug that prevents compilation)

 
 Note that I'm not defending that DMD rejects your code. My bug report only
gives
 an example of an error message that should include a line number. I hope this
 helps, but it looks like the compiler is malfunctioning in a couple of ways
when
 it tries to process your code. I only identified one of the malfunctions (lack
of
 a line number).


I figured the way I wrote that might strain a few things.  17kb of code only
has 4 semicolons, and Value struct is pretty demanding on a few features.  The
function library also maps most things into phobos so I suppose it's bound to
happen.

 
 By the way, to come up with the reduced example, I basically used the method
 described at:

Thanks.
