Sorry, didn't read that code again before replying. What is
indeed unintuitive is that the first typeof expression succeeds
but the other one fails. But this is related to how typeof() works,
apparently by design. Eg:

   auto f(int a) { return a; }
   pragma(msg, typeof(f(1))); // "int". OK.
   alias INT = int;
   pragma(msg, typeof(f(INT))); // "int". OK...
   //pragma(msg, typeof(f(int))); // Compile error. 
   
That plus a non-existing this._input, results in a bit (too much)
magic, and the first test passes. The other one fails because of
the '$' (ie opDollar() call).
