I would like to use the last syntax, but with an alias.
alias butAtLeast = max; // works
int d = butAtLeast(5, 6); // works
int e = 5.butAtLeast(6); // error: no property
'butAtLeast' for type 'int'
Aliasing the instantiated function 'max!(int, int)' instead of
aliasing 'max' doesn't help: The 'int e' line will fail with
the exact same error.
Can I get the alias to work somehow in an UFCS chain?

By putting it in the top level. I believe this is intentional but
I don't remember the reasoning.
