Now I have a good amount of code broken by:
alias x = 5;
alias this = foo;
Was this ever documented? How many people ever knew this syntax
existed? Not me....
The 2.061 changelog has a 'new/changed features' link to bugzilla items,
where there's an item 'alias should have assignment syntax'.
There are two issues with this approach:
1. Alias assignment syntax is (probably) a more interesting change to
many D users than quite a few of the other new/changed items listed. It
is buried amongst some less interesting items.
2. Being a bugzilla item title it doesn't contain syntax examples, which
is what a changelog reader would like to see.
The new deprecated switches item did get a paragraph in the changelog,
but other significant changes did not.
