Except that the fix for issue 3449 causes existing code to silently change behavior. It can also cause very unclear and confusing error messages. I hit a couple of these when trying to compile Tango. Example of error messages I got: * tango/io/selector/SelectSelector.d(156): Error: function tango.io.selector.SelectSelector.HandleSet.opAssign is not callable because it is annotated with @disable https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2/blob/d2port/tango/io/selector/SelectSelector.d#L156 The code doesn't use @disable at all. "opAssign" is not overloaded. It's very confusing that keywords and functions that don't exist in the source code are mentioned. * Error: cannot modify struct this HandleSet with immutable members No file or line information.

(In reply to comment #0) > * Error: cannot modify struct this HandleSet with immutable members > > No file or line information. I opened bug 10160 to fix the strange error message.
