digitalmars.D - "Class.this" equivalent ?

All,

How can I access a reference to an enclosing class in D? ... something similar
to the following Java code:

class A {
  class B {
    A ref;
    B() { ref = A.this; }
  }
}

You can use the *outer* keyword to access the class wrapping a nested class. Like: class Outer { class Inner { Outer foo() { return this.outer; } } void bar() { Inner i = new Inner; assert(this == i.foo()); } }
