Thanks Martin, much appreciated. Test results at Symmetry are 
looking good.

Seems to work here too :) Just waiting for ldc now.

I don't plan to release any LDC v1.27.1 for the very few minor 
fixes that made it into v2.097.2 compared to v1.27.0.

:( Any chance I can convince you otherwise? The Nullable opAssign 
regression breaks literally *all* our code, and we use ldc for 
release builds.

Who's 'we'? - It wouldn't be a big deal, but there were 3 betas 
and a beta period of almost 2 months to check for problems and 
regressions. And we're literally talking about a single compiler 
diagnostics improvement, that one Phobos fix you're after, and 5 
minor druntime fixes.

(Funkwerk.) You're right, but what happened was: I ran into 
another bug first, and after I filed that, I didn't think to 
recheck if there were more bugs waiting.

I can just wait for 2.098.1 otherwise though, it's not a big deal.

Since Nullable is a template type, maybe you can just apply the 
patch on your LDC installation's Phobos source?

Actually, that's a good idea, thanks.

Just switch to LDC? The discussion on bugzilla seems to conclude 
that its purely DMD backend problem.

Saying switch to LDC is not a solution

DMD compile code faster, it is essential for quick iterations, 
nobody wants to suffer like rust people suffer

On other hand i recommend people to use either LDC/GDC for their 
release builds as they provide better optimizations

While that is a good workaround to issues like this, dmd-be does need to 
be fixed regardless.

Yes of course.
I meant that as an immediate workaround.

Maybe my usage of "just" insinuated that one should simply ignore 
the problem; I definitely didn't mean that.
