Sometimes it's handy to use alias to shorten a instance.attribute name that's
used often in some code:


struct Foo { int x; }
void main() {
    Foo f;
    alias fd = f.x;
    fd = 1;
}


DMD 2.061alpha:

test2.d(5): Error: need 'this' to access member x


This is an enhancement request, but also that error message doesn't seem good.
