It says:

q{   } // error,   is not a valid D token

but...

http://d-programming-language.org/lex.html#Token

This clearly shows that   is a token.

So, which is it?

btw...

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
   writeln( q{   } );
}

This compiles and does what you'd expect in DMD 2.055.

  is a token. The documentation was probably written when it was not.

Well, if outdated documentation is a bug, then I suppose so.

Done

 There is specifically a category in bugzilla for issues with the website, and
 the online documentation is included in that.

 - Jonathan M Davis



I selected that category.

"Component: websites"

When you select that component it gives you a description:

"Component Description
Problems with the contents of www.digitalmars.com and 
www.d-programming-language.org, including the language specification"

If that wasn't the right place for the bug then perhaps it shouldn't say 
that it is! Also, where is the other category that you speak of? I can't 
see it anywhere.

 That _is_ the right category. You seemed to be in doubt about whether
 documentation bugs went in Bugzilla, so I pointed out that they do. If they're
 spec bugs (as opposed to bugs in druntime's or Phobos' documentation, which
 go under druntime and Phobos respectively), they go  under the websites
 component. What you did was correct.

 - Jonathan M Davis



Ah ok, my bad. I though that you were implying that I had put it in the 
wrong place!
