And it does, as I relied on this to do the halffloat implementation.
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.
So it is supposed to work? I've always thought this was a deliberate design
choice. I guess I'll file a bug, then. Here:

Kenji, you here? :p
