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.
