I mean I wouldn't have thought of looking there (I spent too many hours 
looking at this code...)..

Anyway, the results of testing:

div_t y = div(a,b);

this code works.

I guess this is a compiler bug? Like I say, before this has "just worked" 
for me (accessing div().member directly) so I haven't given any thought to 
its legality. Also I have seen it in numerous code snippets. What is the 
legality of this construct?
