This code compiled with 2.062:

class Foo
{
    static void instance (this T) ()
    {
    }
}

void main ()
{
    Foo.instance();
}

With 2.063 I get this error:

main.d(10): Error: template main.Foo.instance does not match any function
template declaration. Candidates are:
main.d(3):        main.Foo.instance(this T)()
main.d(10): Error: template main.Foo.instance(this T)() cannot deduce template
function from argument types !()()

That was "accepts-invalid" bug.
Even with 2.062, it didn't work properly.

class Foo
{
    static void instance (this T) () {}
}
void main ()
{
    import std.typetuple;
    foreach (T; TypeTuple!(Foo, const Foo, immutable Foo))
    {
        pragma(msg, T);
        T.instance();  // fail to compile with const and immutable
    }
}

static member function does not have valid 'this' expression, so compiler cannot deduce TemplateThisParameter with IFTI.

I thought that the whole point was to use it when "this" wasn't normally allowed. Just like typeof(this) can be used outside instance methods.
