Ah I see. I was about to ask why was it put in the grammar documentation 
then, but it seems it is no longer there for the online version of the 
documentation:
http://dlang.org/declaration.html#AliasThisDeclaration

It is still present in the documentaton of the 2.062 DMD download 
though, hence my confusion. :S
