static alias this

[jkpl via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Another try

E)-------------------------------------------
struct StaticRegister {
     static private uint _value;
     @property static uint value() { return _value; }
     @property static void value(uint v) { _value = v; }
     static uint opCall(){return _value;}
     alias _value this;
}

void main(string[] s) {
     StaticRegister = 1;
     assert(StaticRegister()==1);
}

Yes you're right, it's a bit strange that the writer works...does 
the expression 'static this' make sense ?!
