--- Comment #9 from Mathias Lang <[email protected]> ---
I strongly disagree with closing this bug.

Relying on user knowing of internal details is not a solution. Moreover, this
doesn't take into account generic code. If one write a template that accept a
static function via a template this argument, do you really expect this person
to handle the case of someone passing an intrinsic explicitly ?

Intrinsics shouldn't differ from regular functions.

The correct course of action would be to properly tag the bug as being within
DMD.
