Apart from what others have said, for a class `this` is the _reference_
to the current object, i.e. a "pointer". If the compiler allowed
assigning to it, it would not modify the contents of your object.
If you want to assign all of the elements at once, you can use `tupleof`
(untested):
this.tupleof = other.tupleof;
I'm quite certain this wouldn't copy the derived data. So be careful
when doing this, you can only do this on final classes.
