Behaviour of alias this changed

I have some code along these lines:
struct S {
short[4] data;
alias this data;
string toString() { ... }
}
...
S s;
writeln(to!string(s));
In dmd 2.059 (I believe) and earlier, this calls S.toString(). However,
in git dmd, this calls data.toString() instead.
I'm just curious about the rationale for this change, and whether
there's a way to override the toString() call so that it always calls
S.toString()?
