Compiles fine with 2.060 but fails with 2.061 beta. class B { void test() { delete this; } } // test.d(5): Error: Cannot modify 'this'

I am unhappy how this change breaks existing code without warning. The progression suggested by Walter should have been followed: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=780#c3 .
