The following doesn't compile, I was wondering whether this is a temporary limitation, bug or by design?

struct Bar
{
    int baz;
}

struct Foo
{
    Bar bar;
    alias bar.baz this; // error
}

Problem I would guess is that bar.baz is an expression and you can't
alias expressions in any context.
      alias bar.baz that;
doesn't work either.
