I think the reason that this works is because i is static,
meaning that you don't need the `this` reference of S to access
it and thus it can be aliased. Declaring a static class or
struct variable is pretty much the same as declaring a global
variable, just with a tighter scope. If you look at it that
way, then this makes a lot more sense. If you declare a global
variable i at module scope, of course you can create an alias
for it.
Yes I think you're right. I wasn't sure what was going on, just
noticed that the example definitely isn't right. I'll file a bug
support and try and fix it.
