Actually I like Steven's opCast suggestion, so that it works in
conditionals.
alias this has lots of problems, but it doesn't mean it's *design* is
blunt, just that the implementation of it is not too good.
Oh, I didn't know that it would work implicitly in conditionals. Then
I'm happy with opCast :)

Note that it only works for structs (not sure if that return type is a
struct or not...)
