module test;
struct Foo
{
    int x;
    alias this = x;
}

2.062:
$ dmd test.d

> test.d(6): Error: no identifier for declarator this
> test.d(6): Error: alias cannot have initializer

This should be an informative message. At first it should state only 'alias x this;' is supported. When we get the new 'alias this : that' syntax we'll update the diagnostic to reflect that.
