Sorry for the confusion, I didn't. getting the string "size_t"
as the result of a hypothetical StringReturnType is the
desired outcome.
Then I very much doubt that it's possible. The compiler doesn't
distinguish between an alias and the original. As far as it's
concerned, they're exactly the same thing. The compiler is
pretty much doing the equivalent of textually replacing all
instances of an alias with the original.

Then time for some compiler hacking!!
