Hmm, I'm still a bit leery of 'alias this' as all my uses for it misfired.
But if that works, then, being an obnoxious brat, I will ask for the
possibility to have many 'alias this' in the same object :-)

Anyway, I just tried:

class C {

   alias opImplicitCast this;

   @property int opImplicitCast() { return 1;}
}

auto c = new C();
int foo(int a) { return a;}

foo(c); // error. function main.foo (int a) is not callable using argument
types (C)
auto i = cast(int)c; // This works, but I'd call that explicit cast...

I'm doing something wrong there? Is calling foo on c an implicit cast?
