Can someone please clarify for me which of these is the

alias that this;
alias this : that;
The documentation here (http://dlang.org/class.html#AliasThis)
doesn't mention the latter. I'll do the unrewarding work of
updating the docs if someone could just please tell me which
syntax the core language folks prefer.
Thanks.

For context:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1413
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1685
`alias this : that` was discussed but has never been
implemented, so currently the only way to do it is `alias that
this`.
Is alias this = that not a thing? If not, why?
