Walter does not seem to agree (see his post in this discussion). Previous
discussions with Andrei (see bug #8570[1] and related discussion[2])
indicates he also thinks alias this (or some other language feature)
should support this. I guess this is not really relevant to this
discussion, so I'll make a separate  thread.
