Extending D's support for object-oriented design with private(this)

[Mike Parker]

I've refrained so far from deleting any posts in this thread that 
still had on-topic content. However, I've had to delete several 
now, and I've had enough complaints about the tenor of this 
thread that I can declare it's been disruptive, so let's shut it 
down here.

Given Atila's comment, the idea doesn't have a chance of approval 
anyway. If anyone wants to submit a DIP for it, feel free. But if 
you do it, you're pretty much tilting at windmills.

I welcome anyone who wants to discuss the idea civilly to start a 
new thread.
