digitalmars.D - typeid of structs vs classes

I've been wondering why does typeid(Foo).toString (where Foo is a struct 
name) return "MODULE_NAME.Foo", while typeid(Bar).toString (where Bar is 
a class) returns just "Bar". Is there any reason for it ? How about 
unifying these ?

So there are at least a few bugs with what TypeInfo.toString returns for various types.
