Interesting idea, one problem with it is that I want this:
auto m = match("bleh", "bleh");
writeln(m);
to actually print "bleh", not true
Right now due to a carry over bug from std.regex (interface thing)
writln(m) will just do a stackoverflow, m.hit however works.
No, that won't be any problem:
struct Foo
{
bool b;
alias b this;
}
auto f = Foo();
static assert(is(typeof(f) == Foo));
The above assert passes as expected.
That may be all well, but try writeln on it, what will it print?
After some experience with alias this I had to conclude that it's rather
blunt tool, and I'd rather stay away of it.
If alias this is any more blunt than regular subtyping (inheritance),
that would be a bug. Feel free to submit if you find such issues.
