Honestly, I find implicit conversion on template constraints to be very
dangerous, because it's so insanely easy to get something that passes the
constraint but doesn't actually work with the code (which is a big reason that
isDynamicArray only works on the exact type). So, I'm not really a fan of the
idea of the alias this working like you're trying to do. But the fact that
it's inconsistent definitely isn't good. It should either work with both front
and popFront or reject both.
