Description Robert Clipsham 2012-04-24 09:54:09 UTC 
struct A {
    int a;
    alias a this;
}
void main() {
    A t;
    switch(t) {
        default:
    }
}

With dmd 2.059 this results in:
test.d(7): Error: 't' is not of integral type, it is a A

I believe the alias this should allow this to work.
