"this.class" could perhaps be called "this.classof", at least that's valid syntax. Although I don't know what to do about __selector.

Once this is merged in DMD, __selector could be documented to be syntactically identical to a delegate (although semantically different) and it could be made syntactically valid for regular D code compiled with no Objective-C support (although it'd remain semantically invalid). That'd allow you to hide it in version blocks and static ifs.
