Hello Simen,
[...] suggest that
typedef int foo;
be kept as it is, and

be sugar for
struct bar {
int _payload;
alias _payload this;
/* stuffs */
}
One important aspect of what I proposed is that operators that aren't
overridden still exist and use the same codegen as the base type (or are
guarantied to generate the same machine code in all cases).
struct foo {
float f;
alias f this;
}
void main( ) {
foo f;
f = 3;
f *= 4;
f /= 8;
f += 4/5;
f -= sqrt( f );
}
This compiles and runs beautifully, so it seems alias this
does what you want.
