Bug 8147 – Blah!R.init now requires parens - (Blah!R).init

In 2.059, this compiles: import std.algorithm; import std.conv; enum A { a, b, c } void main() { map!"to!string(a)"([A.a]); } But with the latest head, you get this error: /home/jmdavis/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/algorithm.d(382): Error: undefined identifier 'init' q.d(8): Error: template instance std.algorithm.map!("to!string(a)").map!(A[]) error instantiating The offending line is line# 382 of std.algorithm: alias typeof(_fun(.ElementType!R.init)) ElementType; If you put parens around .ElementType!R, then it compiles, but without them, it now fails. So, from the looks of it, the compiler now associates the .init with R instead of the result of .ElementType!R. If this was a purposeful change, then map needs to be changed. However, if it was an accidental change (as I assume that it was), then dmd needs to be fixed.
