You can't use an `alias` to refer to a member variable like
this. When you write
alias myAlias = myStruct.test;
...it is silently rewritten by the compiler to
alias myAlias = MyStruct.test;
So, in reality, there is no difference between the two versions.
Is it intended behavior? Is it documented somewhere? I'm looking
here https://dlang.org/spec/declaration.html#alias and it states:
"An AliasDeclaration creates a symbol name that refers to a type
or another symbol". `myStruct.test` is a symbol.
