Here's a toy version of a problem in the wild.

struct S {
    long first;
    union T {
        long one;
        double two;
    }
    T second;
    alias First = first;
    alias Second = second.one;
}

void main() {
    S x;
    x.First = 4;

x.Second = 5; // compilation error: "Error: need this for one of type long"

}

Easiest workaround:

ref inout(long) Second() inout { return second.one; }
