--- Comment #1 from RazvanN  ---
The pointer is automatically dereferenced only in the presence of the dot (.)
operator when a field is queried or a method is invoked. In this situation
(`d.foo`) neither of those situations is encountered. Therefore, UFCS is tried
and it seems that foo is called with argument d. As you have noticed this is
not a situation where D automatically dereferences.

Changing this behavior will lead to massive breakages and it doesn't seem to
buy us anything.
