          Issue ID: 23449
           Summary: spellchecker should suggest corrections for pointer
                    members
           Product: D
           Version: D2

          Severity: enhancement

If I have a struct, and I spell a member wrong, I get a suggestion for a
closely-spelled item.

But if I have a pointer to a struct, I don't get the same suggestion:

```d
struct S {
    int foo;
}

void main()
{
    S s;
    auto sp = &s;
    s.fool = 5;
    sp.fool = 5;
}
```

resulting error:

```
onlineapp.d(9): Error: no property `fool` for type `S`, did you mean
`onlineapp.S.foo`?
onlineapp.d(10): Error: no property `fool` for type `onlineapp.S*`
```

The spell check should be performed for struct pointers.
