I get why it's done, and it's cool that D can do this (I use
it a lot in my

'alias this' is inelegant (sorry Andrei) but it was designed
for precisely this purpose - being able to use a struct to wrap
any other type, and forward to and override behaviors of that
type. Nobody has found a better way.
There's any plan for implementing the multiple alias this?
