i'm thinking about another patch. ;-)
Why not introduce a std.typecons.Newtype(T) with the desired
semantics in addition to Typedef(T)?
Btw, there is an argument to be made _for_ the current Typedef:
If it generates an unpredictable cookie every time it is used
(and I would count __LINE__ as one, as it can change easily),
it's very hard to keep binary compatibility. Maybe taking only
__MODULE__ in consideration would be a good compromise, because
it at least avoids accidental cross module hijacking.
