PS. Just tested, the compiler accepts both... Amazing, I never

I wouldn't consider this to be working by design, but rather because
of implementation limitations.
Why do you consider it a limitation ?
Because the compiler currently has no way to distinguish the types when
resolving the
name "T" (as used in my example)?
Indeed.
Then it is a strange coincidence that Delphi has it too :-)
The simplest way to implement alias types is to just have them refer to
the original type...
