Bug reported: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6013 I also altered the private alias for indexOf so that it's using a name which won't conflict, so hopefully it won't cause any further problems, though I'd definitely prefer it if the bug were fixed and private alias worked properly. - Jonathan M Davis
