Example of bad + good error

When attempting to use 'this' in a static member function on a struct, the
error message is not helpful.

bad_error_static_this_struct.d(13): Error: need 'this' to access member x

However if the same declaration is made to be 'class' the error is much more
appropriate:

bad_error_static_this_struct.d(25): Error: 'this' is only defined in non-static
member functions, not comparex

Attached is an example.
