This is just silly. You don't have to accept a specific 
solution...

YOU DO HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A TYPE SYSTEM BUG!

If an indirection through an alias causes type unification to 
fail then that is a serious type system failure. No excuses

"workarounds" are indeed just excuses, telling people 
"workarounds" they already know about is borderline offensive. I 
wouldn't call it mocking, but I certainly see why it can be 
perceived as such.
