Who wore it better?

I grepped phobos for "inout" and picked a heavy one. Not even cherry 
picking here. You be the judges.

Before:
inout(T)[] overlap(T)(inout(T)[] r1, inout(T)[] r2) @trusted pure nothrow
{
    alias U = inout(T);
    static U* max(U* a, U* b) nothrow { return a > b ? a : b; }
    static U* min(U* a, U* b) nothrow { return a < b ? a : b; }

    auto b = max(r1.ptr, r2.ptr);
    auto e = min(r1.ptr + r1.length, r2.ptr + r2.length);
    return b < e ? b[0 .. e - b] : null;
}

After:

auto overlap(T, U)(T[] r1, U[] r2) @trusted pure nothrow
if (is(typeof(r1.ptr < r2.ptr) == bool))
{
    import std.algorithm : min, max;
    auto b = max(r1.ptr, r2.ptr);
    auto e = min(r1.ptr + r1.length, r2.ptr + r2.length);
    return b < e ? b[0 .. e - b] : null;
}
