Hello,

I don't understand why the compiler refuses the code below, with the error
__trials__.d(33): found '.' when expecting ';' following statement
(Note that method set returns this.)

class C {
    int i,j;
    this (int i) {
        this.i =3D i;
    }
    C set (int j) {
        this.j =3D j;
        return this;
    }
    override string toString () {
        return format("C(%s,%s)", i,j);
    }
}

void main () {
    c =3D new C(1).set(3);	///////
    writeln(c);
}

Well, the example is somewhat artificial, but this idiom is highly useful.

To the compiler, this means:

c = new (C(1).set(3));

What you want is:

c = (new C(1)).set(3);

Java implies this, but D does not.
