Bug 15856 – Confusing error message with -transition=checkimports

Compiling the following code: class Foo { import core.stdc.config; struct Bar { c_long a; // line 7 } } With the -transition=checkimports flag the compiler gives the following error messages: main.d(1): Deprecation: class main.Foo alias core.stdc.config.c_long found in local import main.d(7): Deprecation: local import search method found nothing (null) instead of alias core.stdc.config.c_long I'm not sure if the error message is just bad or if there's a bug in the compiler.
