I don't understand why you would say that is a bug.
I meant that the example is wrong, and a bug report should be
filed to fix the example.

Hmm.. but the example is explicitly dealing with when it is
valid to create an alias for a non-static struct member. Should
it still not be int? Even if you cannot change it via that
alias?
I don't quite understand what you mean. `s.i` refers to a symbol
in the compiler's symbol table. Therefore, I don't see any
reason it can't be aliased. `alias a = b + c;` would be a better
example to demonstrate that expressions cannot be aliased.
