this kind of code compiles. Is this expected to compile?
Yes, why wouldn't it? main is a different scope than global;
you can override identifiers from global in main. And "Foo"
only exists after the declaration, so it doesn't conflict.
I was worried I hit some corner case where it compiles even
though it shouldn't. Can lead to some confusing code. I guess D
is smart enough to figure out which is a type and which is a
variable. C++ gets confused in similar situation.
