You mean the equal sign?

    alias this = foo;

That was implemented in 2.061 by accident likely due to a confusion whether the new alias syntax should apply to 'alias this' as well.

You will notice that it is about removing the "alias foo = int" syntax in 2.062 (not related to 2.063). (That page contains the changes about more than one version.)

Ali

No, I meant the colon.
alias this : foo;
