Walter, do you have an example of a situation where the alias parameter
restriction would be beneficial? (for the D code involved, I don't mean
the few lines of code avoided in the compiler)
In any case, it will break a great deal of existing code to change that
behavior.
Well, no, it wont. Why do you think it will?
