I've long been convinced that "alias old new;" should really be "alias new = old;" The current way confuses me, and I *still* have to consciously stop and think about it every time I write an alias statement (including just

I thought I was the only one. The `alias symbol this` in structs in
particular always stops me and I have to think about what it means,
even though it might be obvious.

I'm with y'all too. Even Walter needs to stop and think for a second. We're considering enabling

alias a = b;

as an equivalent for

alias b a;

Yes please!
