This is new syntax, has some edge cases which fail and
intended to replace the old typedef style
alias Type NewName;
Such that it look more like variable assignment:
alias NewName = Type;
This syntax was intended to only be used for normal aliases,
not "alias this", and was supposed to be removed for latter.
Pretty sure "alias this" was actually a driving force. E.g
"You should use alias this?"
"How, I added alias this and it didn't compile?"
"The syntax 'alias TheThingToAlias this'"
"So not 'alias this' then."
