When trying to compile the following code I get a compilation error

----
import std.stdio;

class Info
{
    final string name() { return nameImpl(); }
    protected abstract string nameImpl();
}

final class MyInfo : Info
{
    this() { assert(__ctfe); }
    private __gshared info_ = new MyInfo; // Line 12

    static string name() { return "MyInfo"; }
    protected override string nameImpl() { return name(); }
}

void main()
{
    writeln("Hello world!");
}
----
source/app.d(12,31): Error: cannot create instance of abstract class MyInfo source/app.d(12,31): function 'string nameImpl()' is not implemented

If I move the info_ static variable declaration after the nameImpl method declaration, there is no error anymore.

Is this normal ? What rule is in play here ? Or is this a compiler bug ?
