We can allow shadowing members only for function parameters

We could, but at the cost of D becoming more of a mass of
special cases that nobody can remember.

Short description: disallow shadowing members, but provide
special syntax for constructors like this:
struct S {
int m;
this(this.m) { }
}
Should be the same as your example above.
Other languages like Scala, CoffeeScript and TypeScript support a
related but different syntax. So, not only I had problems with
shadowing members.
