Simen's example doesn't seem to work though, so he appears to have found a bug. Certainly, I don't see anything wrong with it, but alias this doesn't seem to work for it. Regardless, my point was that if there's a case where alias this isn't doing an implicit conversion, then it's a bug, because that's the whole reason that it exists. - Jonathan M Davis
