Description Jerry Quinn 2010-02-18 16:51:22 UTC 
The PrimaryExpression rule allows module scope identifiers and types but not template instances.  Dmd 2.040 allows them, though.  So:

struct ss(S) {
  static S s;
}
void foo() {
  int x = .ss!(int).s;
}

compiles, though the grammar doesn't permit the '.' in front of ss.
