For some reason compiler rewrites someComplexVar.re and

cast(ireal)someComplexVar respectively, which results in those variables
being non-lvalues and me being unable to update either of a properties
independently of each other. As one of the consequences, I can't set
imaginary part of a complex variable to signalling nan:
real snan = real.init; // reals are signalling nans by default
creal c = ...;
//c.im = snan; // doesn't work
c = snan + snan * 1i;
assert(isSignallingNan(c.re)); // pass
assert(isSignallingNan(c.im)); // fail
c = snan + cast(ireal)snan; // doesn't work either
I know complex types are scheduled for deprecation but I'm still confused.
I don't know whether the current behaviour is intentional, but in
std.complex.Complex, which is supposed to replace the built-in types,
Complex.re and Complex.im are ordinary public member variables.
