Lorenzo Cogotti <mi...@inventati.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|normal |enhancement --- Comment #3 from Lorenzo Cogotti <mi...@inventati.org> --- You are right, looking into the implementation of `std.typecons.Proxy` I have noticed that the process to forward calls/access to an `alias this` from `opDispatch()` is more involved than that. Thus I am changing the importance of this report to `Enhancement`, since I still stand by the opinion that the error message is quite misleading and might be improved. Also, probably the `opDispatch()` inner workings would need to be clarified a little bit better in the language reference: https://dlang.org/spec/operatoroverloading.html#dispatch Since, by just reading, one can only obtain partial and at times confusing information. I had to look into the linked bug report to find out that it has precedence over `alias this`, and found out by trial and error that it also has precedence over UFCS. --
