Shouldn't invariant as a type modifier be deprecated once and for all? I mean,

It already is deprecated. Download a current DMD version and see for yourself.
But how does this help? The ambiguity isn't gone until this use of invariant is removed
from the language/compiler completely.
Also, just so we're on the same page here, you mean the parentheses, right? If
so, I'm not
sure I quite understand where the problem arises. Could you elaborate?
invariant {
int id;
char[] name;
}
Is this a block of class-level invariant member declarations, or a class invariant that
does nothing but declare two local variables?
Since D2's early days it has dealt with it by using invariant() for the latter.
