Description

Code:
-------
unittest
{
    import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;
    import std.algorithm.iteration : chunkBy;

    string[] data = [ "abc", "abc", "def" ];
    int[] indices = [ 0, 1, 2 ];

    auto chunks = indices.chunkBy!((i, j) => data[i] == data[j]);
    assert(chunks.equal!equal([ [ 0, 1 ], [ 2 ] ]));
}
-------

Compiler output:
-------
/usr/src/d/phobos/std/algorithm/iteration.d(1761): Error: function test.__unittest_L9_C1.ChunkByImpl!(__lambda1, int[]).ChunkByImpl.Group.popFront cannot access frame of function test.__unittest_L9_C1

This is related to issue #14909, but the PR only fixes this problem, not that one, so I'm keeping the bug reports separate for now.

PR has been closed, as it has been decided this needs to be addressed in the compiler rather than the library.
