That's because you made the alias local, UFCS only works with 
global symbols right now (which is actually by design, though I 
don't think it is a great design). So this works:

// move these out to module scope
     import std.string;
     alias z = toStringz;

unittest {
     import std.stdio: wln = writeln;
     wln(typeof("a".z).stringof); // now we're good/
}
