there is no compact form for alias but this
T Foo(T)(T t) { return t; }
is internally identical the the more verbose form:

Hi BCS. On this page: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/template.html
scroll down to "Implicit Template Properties" and it says:
"If a template has exactly one member in it, and the name of that member
is the same as the template name, that member is assumed to be referred to
in a template instantiation".
I think Andrei Alexandrescu was actually looking a catchy name for this.
You don't have to specify the templates only property, you use the
template directly. So its a technique used to make your code less verbose.
