No it won't. It will print "n()".
And that exactly (passing to a templated parameter) is the
insurmountable problem in using a variable to represent a
property.
to!string(foo.n)... hmmm...
I think this is taken care of actually, with opCast(string). The
docs for std.conv.to with opCast may contain a typo:
"toImpl(T, S)(S value);
When source type supports member template function opCast, is is
used."
I think it might mean "it is used" since I don't know why it
would use "is" instead of the opCast. If that's true, just
override opCast(string), no?
Still, it would be great to be able to "prefer" a particular
alias this when passed to templates.
