So, my idea is that the 'this' keyword could be used in templates as a
shortcut for eponymous templates, allowing code like this
template anEponymousTemplate( size_t whatever ) {
enum this = whatever * 2;

template anotherOne( T ) {
static if( is( T == class ) ) {
alias long this;
} else {
alias int this;
}
}
Walter and I discussed this idea a while ago. It's a good one.
To ease into things eponymous templates should work both ways for a while.
We should define a little protocol for ideas that Walter approves but
has higher-priority tasks to work on. Like DIPs that he gives the seal
of approval to, so people know they can work on them.
