So let me get this straight:

Yes, but:
1) not {newType} but {newSymbol} - alias does not create new types
2) alias {existingSymbol} {newSymbol} is also legal and not
planned for deprecation so far
So, does the language reference here
(http://dlang.org/declaration.html#alias) need updating?
Yes, looks like those don't mention new syntax.
And do the aliases in object.di here
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/object.di)
also need updating?
Not necessarily, old syntax is still legal. But in context of
consistent style - yes, makes sense.
