I think you're right. If we can use `a` that way, we should be able to use
`this`, too. There's also this:
----
struct A
{
enum a = 1;
enum b = this.a; /* no deprecation */
}
----
So DMD doesn't reject all cases of `this`. If the enum is acceptable, the alias
in the original snippet should be acceptable, too.
