Bug 24791 – pragma(msg, BasicType TypeSuffix) doesn't parse

I feel like this should work: int x; pragma(msg, typeof(x)*); error : expression expected, not `)` It should print `int*`

The argument must be an AssignExpression. https://dlang.org/spec/pragma.html#msg There is no postfix `*` operator, so it fails to parse.

I don't really care for reasons; this is an obvious bug: pragma(msg, int); // > int pragma(msg, int*); // > int* alias X = int; pragma(msg, X); // > int pragma(msg, X*); // error! Edge cases like this just randomly break meta-programming. We especially depend on pragma(msg) to understand and debug meta-programming.
