I may see why you see so many cases -- dwt was likely ran through a java

DWT is manually ported from Java. A automatic port was tried and it
didn't workout that well, too much of the Java standard library needed
to be reimplemented in D. The port tries to stay as close to the
original code base as possible to ease merging future versions of SWT
and to minimize porting bugs.

Regardless of whether this was a manual port or not, the profuse aliasing
is unnecessary, and does not provide a valid use case for the proposal.
