DMD accepts 'this' and 'super', but this behavior is undocumented. An example
of where this causes problems:

---
class A { void send() {} }
class B : A { send = super.send; }
---

The grammar doesn't allow 'super' to appear in AliasDeclarationX or BasicType,
but DMD's parse.c does look for 'super' and 'this' in Parser::parseBasicType()
