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?
Because
alias this = that;
alias this = anotherThat;
is wierd
