--- Comment #1 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305 at gmail.com> ---
That's not a syntactically incorrect alias this. That is a an alias called
test1 to typeof(this). Renaming test1 to something else makes the code compile
(with a deprecation warning, at the time of the creation of this post, that
**this** cannot be used as a type, but that's something different).

The compiler cannot simply assume that you were trying to write an alias this
since you could be trying to write an alias to the type of this. Closing as
invalid.
