IIRC, there was an ambiguity for using the new syntax for alias
this. I don't remember the thread where it was discussed, but
you are not the first to bring it up.

The ambiguity is that `this` resolves to a type in aggregates:
```
class Foo
{
alias FooToo = this;
static assert(is(FooToo == Foo));
}
```
Fortunately this is being removed from the language see:
