Indeed.

So is

string s = i"";

so idk which one we'd use (unless the language gets multiple 
alias this lol).

But regardless the struct lets us have it all. With alias this it 
is every minor detail. Without it it is a simple method call.

I used to lukewarm support this DIP, but since the struct is so 
much better, superior in almost every objective measure, I now 
think we should vote it down unless it changes.
