I honestly have no idea how opDispatch and alias this are supposed to
interact. They're both used as fallbacks when the type doesn't directly define
a function. That being said The reason that your code doesn't work here is the
fact that you'r ecalling bar is if it were a static function, but your
opDispatch isn't static. opDispatch would have to be static for it to be used
as a static function (it can't be both static and non-static), and in that
case, the if condition that you have in it wouldn't compile.
