Same reasoning for class being the first in the inheritance/conformance list: 
it allows you to quickly read a list and see if there is a class where you 
expect it. The fact that one may come from a typealias is a different story: 
it's the difference between being able to quickly read an expression and 
understanding the whole function it's contained in.
