I have this code: http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/131ca7e9
Why I get these error messages if I try to use a @property method with
alias this? And why it works fine if I use opDot?

For what it's worth, this combination compiles:

/* returns immutable(T) but 'this' is inout */
    @property
        immutable(T) get() inout pure nothrow {
        return this._val;
    }

    alias get this;

/* ... */

void foo(immutable A a)
{}

void main() {
    Unique!(A) uni = new A();
    foo(uni);
}
