[Adam D Ruppe]

This old bug came up overnight:

Dr. Alexandrescu said in reply: "Yah, the DIP should definitely 
amended to include ~this() on the list of functions to look at. 
Assigning to Razvan so we don't forget about this."


Of course, ProtoObject wouldn't fix this anyway - just like with 
the other attributes, they have *nothing to do with Object* so no 
amount of changes there would actually fix the problem - but now 
we have yet another thing this DIP was supposed to fix that was 
completely unaddressed.

This DIP must be rejected. There is no hope to salvage it; it is 
completely broken from top to bottom.
