`this` and nested structs

Consider the following code:
---
struct S
{
// intentionally not `static`
struct SS
{
int y() { return x; } // Error: need `this` for `x` of
type `int`
}
int x;
SS ss;
}
void main()
{
S s;
s.ss.y();
}
---
If I change `return x;` to `return this.x;` then of course it
emits the following error:
Error: no property `x` for type `SS`
My understanding is that `SS` should have a context pointer to an
instance of `S`, but how do I navigate the members of `S` and
`SS`. Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Mike
My understanding is that nested structs have an implicit context
pointer to their containing scope.
