I think mixin can mix very well with that proposal, when the compiler sees
a struct mixin, it can automatically provide an {im,ex}plicit cast to the
mixed in type, adjusting the pointer:

struct A {
	int x;
}

struct B {
	int y;
}

struct C {
	mixin A;
	mixin B;
}

C* c = new C;
A* a = cast(A*) c; // points to c
B* a = cast(B*) c; // points to c + A.sizeof
