Is alias this = that not a thing? If not, why?
Because
alias this = that;
alias this = anotherThat;
is wierd
Even if we assume for now that this is somehow bad, it is no
reason to have syntax inconsistent with alias.
int baz(int x){ return x; }
double bar(double x){ return x; }
alias foo = bar;
alias foo = baz;
Reserving `alias this = ...;` allows adding aliasing of
constructors in the future, assuming it can be meaningfully
defined.
