           Summary: protected toString causes strange error message
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: uplink.coder googlemail.com



Hello,

if I declare a toString function protected, the compiler spills lots of error
messages regardig Writers and Appenders.
I find this very unhelpful.
maybe another Template Contraint 
something along the lines of
if (hasToString!T && isCallable!T.toString)
would be abit clearer.

Cheers
