I would still argue that this is unintuitive behavior; to me an alias parameter
is anything that can be aliased. Allowing all types except primitive types in
alias parameters creates a seemingly arbitrary distinction between primitive
and user types -- don't we want to decrease these differences as much as
possible?

I can't think of any realistic use cases for primitive types as alias
parameters. However, I also can't for userland types.


PS. To be really pedantic, Int could be regarded as a symbol in the following:

alias int Int;
alias MyAlias!(Int) Int2; // MyAlias from before
// The above alias also doesn't work
