One drawback of Voldemort types, is that they are incompatible with the
generation of .di files (option -H).
See http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5461.

This pull fixes this problem and a bunch of others:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/928. However, it
currently fails to build on Linux and fails the unittests on Windows
thanks to a problem with the dur template function in std.datetime. The
solution used by this pull is to include the function body of the
auto-function as that was needed to allow Phobos to build correctly using
the DRT DI files. This is the only workable solution as DMD does not know
the type of an auto-function when DI files are generated. No semantic
analysis has been performed and since semantic analysis could change the
layout of a module you wouldn't want it to be
performed.
