This looks like a job for the template this parameter:
     T val(this T)(int newVal) {
         _val =3D newVal;
         return cast(T) this;
     }
Funny enough, if you put Bar into Foo (Foo bar =3D new Bar; ) it doesn't=
  =
work no more.

NO #$(&$# WAY!!!!! I (ab)use D metaprogramming constantly and was completely unaware of template this parameters. This is **exactly** what I needed and I
can't believe it's in the language already.

What, this is seriously already here? Why the fuck was I not informed?
Seriously, this is one under-advertised feature.
