For 2.062 you're going to have to move the .sizeof expression
outside of any methods which require 'this'. Make 'foo' static or
wrap the .sizeof expression inside of a template and it will
work. E.g.:

template getSizeOf(alias symb)
{
      enum getSizeOf = symb.sizeof;
}

struct Foo
{
      void foo()
      {
          auto sz = getSizeOf!(C.a);
          writefln("sz: %s", sz);
      }
}

It's just a bug which will be fixed in the next version.
