dmd -c -o- main.d:
Error: no property 'nsecs' for type 'MonoTimeImpl!cast(ClockType)0'
the type in the error message is invalid, it should be:
'MonoTimeImpl!(cast(ClockType)0)'
---
void test() {
static import core.time;
auto temp=core.time.MonoTime.currTime.nsecs * 1e-9;
}

in dmd 67, the error message was correctly typed:
Error: no property 'nsecs' for type 'MonoTime'
although the root cause is probably that error message wrongly removes parenthesis when the template argument is cast!(...)foo

Previously, it printed MonoTime instead of MonoTimeImpl!cast(ClockType)0, because MonoTime wasn't previously templated, whereas is now it's an alias to MonoTimeImpl!(ClockType.normal).
The bug here is entirely in how dmd prints out the template argument in the error message.

This now yields:
test.d(3): Error: no property `nsecs` for `currTime()` of type `core.time.MonoTimeImpl!ClockType.normal`
Which is the correct error message.
