In D, you can now replace the following:

alias int _UnWind_Sword;
=>
alias _UnWind_Sword = int;


However, this doesn't seem to work with alias function.

// OK
alias extern(C) void function(_Unwind_Reason_Code, _Unwind_Exception *)
     _Unwind_Exception_Cleanup_Fn;

// Error
alias _Unwind_Exception_Cleanup_Fn
  = extern(C) void function(_Unwind_Reason_Code, _Unwind_Exception *);


I would expect this to work in the same way as the first example does.
