Compiler bug? Mixin behavior order dependent

[Norbert Nemec]

Hi there,

can anyone give an explanation for the following or is it simply a 
compiler bug?

The code below does not compile. I don't see why the enum cannot be 
forward referenced across mixin boundaries while the other two forward 
references are no problem. (Ordering the mixing statement below the enum 
definition also solves the problem)

=====================
mixin template verifyArray() {
   static assert(is(type));  // no problem
   static assert(rank >= 0); // Error: forward reference
}

struct MyArray(T,int R) {
   mixin verifyArray;
   static assert(rank >= 0); // no problem

   alias T type;
   enum rank = R;
}

unittest {
   MyArray!(int,4) x;
}
=====================

./bug_mixin_order.d(5): Error: forward reference of variable rank
./bug_mixin_order.d(9): Error: mixin 
MyArray(int,4).MyArray.verifyArray!() error instantiating 
./bug_mixin_order.d(16): Error: template instance MyArray!(int,4) error 
instantiating

=====================

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Norbert
