You just illustrated my point exactly. This doesn't scale, you 
can't create special rules for every type when you're writing a 
library. Nullable is aliased to the get function, which returns 
int in this case. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

This is the exact use case of alias this and it doesn't work.
