The error is in this line. Instead of assigning to the `postProc` at
module scope, you are defining a new local variable and assigning to it.

Thank you so much. This is where I deserve a big Duh. I guess there is
no way to to make this idiot proof. I'll print it out and hang it over
my desk.
No matter how experienced, these happen to most programmers. :-/
Somebody else had a similar problem just the other day on this forum.
The same problem somewhat commonly happens when one copy+pastes members
into the constructor and assigns to them forgetting to remove the types:
struct S {
int i;
int j;
this(int a) {
// Declarations pasted from the members
int i = 42 + a; // meant 'i = 42 + a' (or this.i = ...)
int j = 43 + a;
}
}
Another related one is assigning to a parameter usually in the constructor:
struct S {
int i;
this(int i) {
i = i; // meant this.i = i
}
}
