Because an alias of a type is just another name for the same thing you can't test if they're different. I wondered if there was a way to get the aliased name, perhaps via traits? (.stringof returns the original type.)
There is indeed no way to do this; as you say, aliases are just names for a particular reference to a symbol. Perhaps you don't actually need the names in your use case, though?
