I don't think having better-named aliases is a bad thing. Although now I'm seeing it's not just an alias but a function. What exactly is the "static if (E.sizeof < 4)" in there for btw? When would the element type exceed 4 bytes while still passing the isSomeChar contract, and then why not stop compilation at that point instead of return "s.length"?
