Imagine the existing single `alias this` is extended to provide such a

struct top
{
mem3 m3;
mem2 m2;
mem1 m1;
alias m3, m2, m1 this;
// ...
}
could be interpreted to mean search for a name in m3 if not found in
top, and in m2 if not found in m3 and in m1 if not found in m2. I
don't back the syntax, just the notion.
Maybe that's not all that's expected from "multiple alias this" but it
would be a clean step forward. Issues?
No issues then!
Time for a D I P perhaps.
Comment?
This is interesting, and would be timely to discuss before an
implementation of multiple alias this gets started. -- Andrei
