That's a half baked change, it would have been better to go a bit 
further:

previously

```d
alias Tint = int;
@Tint void f();
```

now

```d
@int void f();
```

nice. But previously


```d
alias Tint = int;
@Tint(1) void f();
```

now

```d
@int(1) void f(); // Not Good
```

that's unfortunately still an error.
