i just had a scenario like the one below. when calling .array on 
the filterresult dmd goes nuts because of the init() function in 
Players. Renaming to initialize() solved the problem.

Solution: As .init is used for struct initialization and such 
(https://dlang.org/spec/property.html#init) i think it should be 
a restricted keyword for class members and methods

experienced programmers ofc know that .init is used in special 
ways and avoid it. newcomers like me have a hard time with such 
cases.

class Players
{
   void init() { ... }

   ...
}

auto candidates = players.filter!(x => {
   return x.active && x.getName().indexOf(searchstring) > -1;
}).array;

Of course, being known doesn't mean that anyone is actively working on a 
fix. Feel free to make (a little) noise on Bugzilla, or in the General 
group.

This is being worked on.

The issue is that TypeInfo.init is used by druntime to mean the init 
data to store for a type. So until that has been deprecated for a long 
enough time (I don't know the current status, but we are in the process 
of naming it initializer instead), then we can't fix this issue.
