It's not a bug. The alias this conversion only goes one way. It
provides a way to convert _from_ the type that it's declared on
to another type, not from the other type to the type that it's
declared on. There is no way in D to declare an implicit
conversion in the direction you're trying. So, if you have a
struct that wraps an int like this, and you want to assign it
an int, you're going to need to explicitly construct the struct
- e.g. EnumX(1).

That's pretty crappy! Defeats the whole point!
