I'm trying to add the EXT:STRERROR but I'm failing miserably:

Adding

@(defun ext::strerror (errno)
@
  return make_constant_base_string(strerror(fixint(errno)));
@)

to src/c/error.d results in

../src/c/error.d:424: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘:’ token

What am I missing?
