- This is not alpha renaming. Alpha renaming renames a variable at the
point it is bound and updates all occurrences of the variable. Alpha
renaming does not change the term it is applied to.

This is type replacement.
I'm using the term a bit loosely but I think appropriately.
- How do you use it to create recursive types using algebraic? (Assuming
that's what your comment refers to.)
I've added documentation and examples to
http://erdani.com/d/phobos-prerelease/std_variant.html#.Algebraic.
Feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
