When we have tuples: `(e1, e2, e3)[$-1]` instead of `(e1, e2,
e3)` in C.

Maybe:
```d
(){
class __anonclass1 : BaseClassList
{
void* this;
}
return new __anonclass1 args; }()
```
Could that work correctly with the context pointer?
Otherwise to generally fix it, there would need to be a way of
declaring inline types in an expression. (We also might want
inline template syntax).
