Agreed.
A guideline that makes sense to me is "UFCS is for when the function can
be thought of as a special operation on its first parameter."
After seeing bearophile's code, I thought that even the following was
better than UFCS:
"hello".to!Foo
It only then feels like a special operation on "hello". (I haven't tried
the code but I think it works.)
However, I would still use the Foo("hello").
