I just started playing around with it, it might be no surprise,
but if you go further and start to make some local aliases inside 
main() like

alias writeln = std.stdio.writeln; // for convenience
string myvar ="Test";

You can user writeln(myvar) but not with UFCS: myvar.writeln;

I realized that UFCS would work only if the alias is defined 
outside of main();

Is this a bug or a feature? Don't know if this can be solved.
