As `alias this` may be used to inheritance support a conversion from base to
derived is expected to work also for `null` class instances.

A possible solution as to allow aliasing static or non-member function which
accepts the type as a parameter:
---
class A { }

A asA(B b) { return b ? b.a : null; }

class B
{
    A a;
    alias asA this;
}

void main()
{
    B b = null;
    A a = b; // rewritten as `asA(b)`
}
---

Based on Issue 2929.
