UFCS can't be the penultimate solution, for example:

class S(T)
{
    alias Type = SomeTypeModifier!T;

    static if (isSomePredicate!Type)
    {
        int x;
        void foo() { /* do something with x */ }
    }
    else
    {
        float y;
        void bar() { /* do something with y */ }
    }
}

How do you implement this with UFCS? It wouldn't look nice if you had
to put those methods outside, while keeping the data inside. You'd
have to duplicate static ifs outside and inside the class.
