Recomputation or not, @safe or @system, should be no different

I think it's more useful to support local refs than alias
expressions. In fact apart from the rvalue support, I would
rather use a local ref than the existing with statement (assuming
the ref was memory safe). The only exception is when using `with
(EnumType)`.
Also, compile-time expressions use enum, not alias. It could be
changed, but I think it's useful when reading meta-programming
code to clearly see the difference.
Currently aliased symbols are expanded by the compiler in error
messages, but that's probably not ideal.
