Hm... According to run.dlang.io, this behavior changed in 2.072
(prior to that it worked). In 2.067.1 to 2.071.2, changing the
this reference was actually allowed, but deprecated.
Technically, you don't need to do this. Passing an address to a
class reference isn't going to benefit anything, as a class
reference already is a pointer. This is, of course, unless you
want to CHANGE the class reference. Which is disallowed for
`this`.
Technically speaking, `this` is simply a local parameter. It
technically could be changed, but it is not allowed because of
the bad code that would likely result.
