If you want to assign to `this', you must use the flag
-fthis-is-variable.  The 2.0 language spec permits GNU C++ to be picky
about this matter, though it suggests compiler writers go easy on
their users by giving the a flag whereby original behavior is
restored.  GNU C++ has never allowed `this' to be assigned outside of
constructors and destructors, so there is no behvior to restore there.
