Is this a bug?

If Inner is not nested, it works as expected:

class Inner
{
    static Inner createInner()
    {
        return new Inner()
    }
}

D version: 2.066.1

In the first case, is there an "Inner" that is visible outside of 
"Outer"?
If so, the compiler wont know which one your talking about, so 
need to specify with this.
