If it's not defined in the spec it's an enhancement. See also http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4533 which asks for the opposite and the newsgroup discussion it links to.

It was made to work for a while, then it was broken again (https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21670). But since it's just a deprecation, closing as fixed.
