The following regular expression string (valid as it works in non-compile time regex) causes the "Error: found 'else' instead of statement" compile time message:
"/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/regex.d-mixin-5885(5943): Error: found 'else' instead of statement"
---
import std.regex;
auto commentRx = ctRegex!(`.*?(//.*[\r\n]|/\*(?:.|[\r\n])*?\*/)`, "gm");
void main() {}

This is as observed on hackerrank.com which used D Version 2.066.
