IMO it's not a good idea to recommend the use of `alias this`. It's a neat trick that solves the short-term problem, but in the long term it actually becomes a maintenance burden. I would recommend instead avoiding such tricks that save a bit of typing in the short-term but causes problems down the road. (I used to love using `alias this`, but over time have become convinced that it's not worth it. It makes code needlessly obscure and reduces understandability.)
