With that compiler bug fixed, I've progressed farther and now I've found 
another odd problem.


/* ********** bad.d ********** */
import std.string;

class StdString
{
     private import std.string;
     alias std.string.toString toString;
}

void main()
{
     int i = 123;
     StdString g = new StdString();
     printf("%.*s\n", g.toString(i)); /* line 13 */
}


This is the perplexing error message:
main.d(13): cannot implicitly convert int to bit

What "bit"? Who asked for a bit?



The following similar (but simplified) code works fine:

/* ok.d */
import std.string;
void main()
{
     int i = 123;
     printf("%.*s\n", toString(i));
}

Diplays:
123



I've tested these on DMD 0.94 (WinXP).
