On page 231, TDPL states that a class can introduce any number of alias this declarations.

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/class.html#AliasThis states that there is only one allowed per class.

A quick test shows that dmd agrees with the latter.

Which one is right?

The book is right.  It has to be, you can't change the book, but you can change dmd ;)

But seriously, there are a number of features that are mentioned in TDPL that are not properly implemented in dmd.  inout comes to mind...

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to add that to the list of features I'm waiting for.
