When the other use of alias has been changed from
alias int NewName; // weird syntax
to
alias NewName = int; // welcome syntax
'alias this' has also been inadvertently changed from
alias memberFunc this; // still valid syntax
to
alias this = memberFunc; // buggy syntax
It has been a recent bug which has quickly been reverted. Here is a past
discussion:

Ah I see. I was about to ask why was it put in the grammar documentation
then, but it seems it is no longer there for the online version of the
documentation:
http://dlang.org/declaration.html#AliasThisDeclaration
It is still present in the documentaton of the 2.062 DMD download
though, hence my confusion. :S
