Description David Simcha 2011-11-07 08:38:26 UTC 
This may technically be an enhancement request, but it seems like a massive, glaring inconsistency for no good reason, so I consider it a bug.

void main() {
    auto foo() {
        return 3;
    }
}

test.d(2): function declaration without return type. (Note that constructors are always named 'this')
test.d(2): no identifier for declarator foo()

See bug 4401
Comment 2 Kenji Hara 2011-11-07 09:54:21 UTC 
This is parser problem, and there is no reason to reject it from dmd internally
(e.g. The return type of function literal is almost inferred).
