For a second I was worried this would break UFCS, but actually it
still works. Pretty kewl.


Actually it does... but only partially:

struct match //ditto  for replace
{
    //current behavior
    static void opCall(T)(T s)
    {
        writeln(s);
    }

    //get the first match / replace only first occurance
    static void first(T)(T s, int k)
    {
        writelen("FIRST: ", s);
    }

    // force to find all matches (still lazy range) and
    static void all(T)(T s, int p)
    {
        writlen("ALL: ", s);
    }
}


void main()
{
    "abc".match(); //works
    "abc".match.first(42); //doesn't
}


There's got to be some way out of it that doesn't involve alias this and 
proxies...
