          Issue ID: 21062
           Summary: Compiler produces wildly different diagnostics based
                    on variable names
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

DMD 2.093 (also tested with 2.089)

This is OK:

-----
struct S
{
    public time_t time;
    public bool synced;
}
-----

$ dmd -c test.d
 test.d(9,19): Error: undefined identifier `time_t`, did you mean variable
`time`?

But look at this:

-----
struct S
{
    public time_t time;
    public bool synchronized;
}
-----

$ dmd -c test.d
 test.d(4): Error: no identifier for declarator bool
 test.d(4): Error: declaration expected following attribute, not ;

There is no mention of `time_t` being undefined.
