           Summary: Poor error message when using shared: function ___ not
                    callable with argument types ___
           Product: D
           Version: 2.036
          Platform: x86

          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

Sample code

==================
struct foo{
  void unsharedfunc(){}
    void sharedfunc() shared {}
}
void main(){
    foo unsharedvar;
    shared(foo) sharedvar;
    unsharedvar.sharedfunc();
    sharedvar.unsharedfunc();
}
==================

Output with dmd 2.037
(Bug report lists dmd 2.036 because 2.037 was not an option at the time)

$ dmd test.d
test.d(8): Error: function test.foo.sharedfunc () shared is not callable using
argument types ()
test.d(9): Error: function test.foo.unsharedfunc () is not callable using
argument types () shared


Here's the kind of error message I would expect to see
test.d(8): Error: Only shared types can call shared functions
test.d(9): Error: Shared types can only call shared functions

Maybe the function or variable name could be worked into the message, but
that's the essence of what should be displayed.
