The following two function definitions. First one gives error, 
second one works. Can anyone tell me the difference between 
putting the "shared" keyword at the end of definition, and before

// this gives error message
// Error: semicolon expected following function declaration
private static this() shared{}


// this works correctly
private shared static this(){}


I didn't see any information about position of keywords in 
documentation.
