This introduces UTCOffset.to as an alias to std.conv.to.

This ends up being ignored, because UTCOffset has a member called 
`to`.

This does not do call std.conv.to through UFCS. Instead, it calls 
UTCOffset's static alias of std.conv.to without an argument.

That is: `UTCOffset().to!string;` = `UTCOffset.to!string;` = 
`std.conv.to!string;`
