I already see this kind of bug all the time with alias this.
Can you please post more detail? It may be of relevance to future work.
Any time you have the alias this, then you can get confused when calling
a function expecting it to be sent as the original type, but the alias
this is used instead. In cases where both are seemingly accepted by
overloads, then it can be confusing which overload is used. Sometimes
it's as simple as the overload that you were expecting to be called
won't compile or is deselected by constraints. But the code still
compiles and runs, just does something different from what you expected.
I meant that the effect is similar to what you were noting.
