"alias" supports two syntaxes, one of them specifically to
address writing things like alias A this.
That's inconsistent. I agree not the most urgent thing in the
world, but while the fixing things happens (see the @property),
why not address this too?
So? Deprecate the old syntax?
This was discussed recently.
The problem is that the new syntax is only a few versions old, so
deprecating the old syntax means breaking all D code that's more
than a year old.
If D had no existing customers then yeah, we'd remove it, but I
think it's too early to start deprecation.
