If you've got nothing constructive to add stop posting, or, keep posting  
if it makes you happy just be prepared to be ignored as a "troll". Given  
the inflamatory nature of your post I am surprised you only got 1  
agressive response.

As Derek politely pointed out, you didn't post a complete example. Without  
a complete example there is no way for us to help you, in which case why  
post at all? (unless you're simply trolling?).

I've done my best to produce a complete example, here is what I came up  
with:

alias int SomeType;

SomeType f(){
	SomeType result;
	result = 1;
	return result;
}

void g(){
	SomeType value;
	value = f();	
	switch(value){
	case 1:
		assert(value == 1); // fails !!!
	}
}

void main()
{
	g();
}

I assume you meant for us to replace SOMECONST with an integer constant,  
if not, let me know what it was because nothing else I tried would  
compile. Using the code above I get no assert, which is the correct  
behaviour.
