Description hsteoh 2012-05-10 13:00:39 UTC 
Code:
        struct S {
                short[4] data;
                alias this data;

                string toString() { ... }
        }
        ...
        S s;
        writeln(to!string(s));

In dmd 2.059 (I believe) and earlier, this calls S.toString(). However,
in git dmd, this calls data.toString() instead.
