Bug 10756 – "has no effect in expression" error message with correct type name

A low priority enhancement request (in Bugzilla I'd like to be able to give an importance high, or low, to enhancement requests too): void main() { 'a'; 1; 2U; 3UL; 4.0f; } dmd 2.064alpha gives: test.d(2): Error: long has no effect in expression ('a') test.d(3): Error: long has no effect in expression (1) test.d(4): Error: long has no effect in expression (2u) test.d(5): Error: long has no effect in expression (3LU) test.d(6): Error: double has no effect in expression (4.00000) I think those error messages should be improved a little, printing the correct type name.

potential fix: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7300
