Well, at least I understand why the context pointer exists now.
If you were to add a `pragma(msg, __FUNCTION__)` into either of
the templated functions, you'd get the following output.
```
example.C.doShizz!(a).doShizz
example.C.staticShizz!(a).staticShizz
```
Where `example` is likely the name of the module in Godbolt.
But then there's the `.C.` part, which is the parent type for the
alias being passed into the templated functions.
So essentially, the compiler is rewriting `doShizz!(C.a)` as
something like?:
```
struct C
{
int a;
template doShizz(alias T = a)
{
void doShizz(ref string a){...}
}
}
```
Weird, and annoying. Especially since the compiler still allows
it to be a function instead of a delegate.
