struct ValueImpl
{
    static immutable(int) getValue()
    {
        return 42;
    }
}

struct ValueUser
{
    ValueImpl m_valueImpl;
    alias m_valueImpl this;
}

void main(string[] args)
{
    static assert(ValueUser.getValue() == 42); // #1
}

Line #1 doesn't compile. Error: variable m_valueImpl cannot be read 
at compile time
