If you overload an operator and use tyepof(this) as the type of the parameter,
the compiler will throw an error about incompatible types. See the attached d
source file for an example.

This can be worked around by using the struct/class name instead of
typeof(this) for the parameter. If you're defining the operator in a template
mixin (the case where I originally noticed the bug), you will need to pass the
type as a template argument.

I am using gdc 2.051 compiled against gcc version 4.5.2 on an x64 Linux system
running Debian Squeeze. I initially posted this on gdc's bug tracker
(https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issue/150/overloading-an-operator-breaks-when-using#comment-362929)
but they said it's likely a problem with the frontend.
