Different, as in the ways you've mentioned :)
In response to the OP, I initially felt the same way, but it can
be argued that the current syntax is more applicable to the type
declaration syntax.
If we compare the proposed alternate syntax with current, which
is better?
alias int Int;
Int x = 0;
vs
alias Int = int;
Int x = 0;
When I compare the two in this way, I'm inclined to keep things
as they are.
