The problem is that I used to separate member variables and local
variables through capitalization.

X would be a member variable.
x would be a local variable.

this allowed me, among other things, to create constructors such as:

this(int x, int y)
{
    X = x;
    Y = y;
}

So now my question is, how do you distinguish between member and local
vars in such cases?

This is how I would do it:

class Point
{
    private int x_;
    private int y_;

    this (int x, int y)
    {
        x_ = x;
        y_ = y;
    }

    int x ()
    {
        return x_;
    }

    int y ()
    {
        return y_;
    }

    int x (int x)
    {
        return x_ = x;
    }

    int y (int y)
    {
        return y_ = y;
    }
}

If I don't have a conflict with methods I just drop the underscore and 
use "this." in the constructor:

struct Point
{
    int x;
    int y;

    this (int x, int y)
    {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
    }
}
