If you could, you would define it 'static' anyway. :) Because you highly
likely needed a distinct 'variableWithALongName' member for each
MyStruct object, that wouldn't work.

I don't know the answer. Luckily, what you describe is available in
another form in the language:
ref alias2() {
return myStruct.memberWithALongName;
}
Ali
Unrelated: I find 'myObject' a more correct name for a variable because
if 'struct' is the definition of a type, 'myStruct' attempts to convey a
misleading meaning.
