Was something changed intentionally or is this a bug?
It was changed intentionally, but only for alias this. That
syntax is allowed still for other aliases.
Bye,

I see, thanks. What was the reason for not allowing alias
this = identifier?
Requiring lookahead when parsing.
Alright, thanks!
Just to be clear : that was sarcastic, requiring lookahead when
parsing is a drawback.
The idea is that alias and alias this are 2 different beasts. For
instance you can have multiple alias this when you can only have
one name per identifier.
It was wanted to distinguish the 2 with 2 different syntaxes.
