Last time this came up on the forums, I did a quick search 
through Phobos to see how many uses of `alias this` forwarded to 
a member variable (and could be replaced by struct inheritance) 
and how many forwarded to a function.

My hypothesis before actually checking was that `alias this` to a 
member variable would be significantly more common than `alias 
this` to a function. But in reality, they turned out to be 
equally common.
