Consider:

import std.stdio;

class A
{
    final print() { writeln(this); } // no return type
}

class B : A
{
    final void print() { writeln(this); }
}

void main()
{
    auto b = new B;
    b.print();

    A a1 = b;
    a1.print();

    A a2 = new A;
    a2.print();
}

That compiles:

$ dmd -de -w -g ./main.d
$ main
main.B
main.B
main.A

with dmd 2.074 on linux:

$ dmd --version

Is that a bug? (in the compiler). I'm learning D, and I'm half way through Andrei's book; I also read the documentation (on D's website) and I think that shouldn't compile?
