dmd:

I am not sure if this is the same situation:

alias uint uint64_t;
int foo(uint64 x) {
  return x * 2;
}
void main() {}


dmd prints:

temp.d(2): Error: identifier 'uint64' is not defined

dmd's spell checker only looks a distance of one, and uint64 is a distance of two from uint64_t. This is trivially changed, but I didn't do the longer distances because of the annoyances of false positives - variable name spelling doesn't work like english language spelling.

The issue is not, as has been suggested, that dmd doesn't do spelling checks on types.

There's really nothing "amazing" about a spell checker, it's just a better idea than not doing it.
