I removed typedef from the title as it is now deprecated in D2.

Besides assignment syntax having consistency with renamed imports and variable
declarations, the current alias syntax is awkward to read and confusing for
newcomers.

Alias assignment syntax should also be used for alias this:

struct Foo {
    alias this = foo;
    ...
}
