It doesn't make sense at all. It is an arbitrary limitation. The rule is simple though: One can only alias things that syntactically look like they might be types. This is why the following triviality is way more useful than it should be:alias Id(alias a)=a; alias fun = Id!(a=>a); // ok!
You can tell me that function literals look like types, but I won't believe you.
