I'll put you in charge of debugging that :-)
I am/was (I have not worked on it a lot lately). I haven't found it to
be particularly hard to debug.
It is likely the best way to fix the "forward reference error" situation.
My code which does this does not compile on DMD versions after 2.060 due
to forward reference issues. I have just reduced one of them:
