I wrote the following code to get the address of a class

Please let me know if there is a way to write it to work 
properly.

private import std;

```
class C
{
        C* this_pointer()
        {
                return this;
        }
}

void main()
{
        C Z = new C();
        writeln(&Z == Z.this_pointer());
}
```

Classes are always references. I think you can just cast 'Z' to 
void* to get the address.

Conversely &Z should be an address on the stack.
