alias is problematic, because it allows the class reference to escape. opDispatch doesn't have that problem, though there may be other complications that it introduces (I don't know). It does get kind of complicated though when you consider member functions which return the a reference to the object and things like that. So, while it's generally feasible, it's not that hard for it to become unsafe. How much that matters is debatable, but it could make it so that reference counting classes is infeasible in @safe code.

Can't we make opAssign and this(this) work with classes add @disable to them? Also rec counted classes shouldn't have members of that have their type, they should have to have members of the aliased struct containing their type.
