Also, the proposed rewrite does not fix the problem. (I haven't tested
it, but AFAIU, the following code is neither rejected by the pull, nor
does it print "123".)

import std.stdio;

void main(){
     string text="123";
     void foo(){
         import std.conv;
         writeln(text());
     }
     foo();
}

(Also, essentially the same logic occurs in three distinct places in
the new code.)

This code should *not* print "123", because text() is explicitly a
function call, but the local variable 'text' is not a function.

It's a typo, presumably caused by implicit good intentions. :o)
What I meant to write was this:

import std.stdio;

void main(){
    string text="123";
    void foo(){
        import std.conv;
        writeln(text);
    }
    foo();
}
