returns to console:
bigUglyName (AKA local)=1 b=1

Why? I am expected that b=2

alias does not capture this pointer, it is rewritten as 
S.bigUglyName and you can refer to non-static fields as 
Type.member which is this.member in member functions  (in D 
semantic differences of accessing static and non-static members 
are diluted)

Well, how you can reduce the long ugly name in this case? In the 
real function I mentioned it so many times.

By not making the name ugly big.

 By not making the name ugly big.

Other people do.

In addition, sometimes you want to cut long nested queries such 
as:

auto numOfPixelsDisplayed = Table.getItems( 
Scene.getObjectsArray() ).prepareForDisplay( type.GL 
).showScene();
