This is a function prototype, not a type decl :)  The linker would then 
expect to find this function somewhere else.

:|  I'm not entirely sure what that means.

But the alias makes signal a function type:

alias void function(int) signal(int, void function(int));
//signal s; // error, cannot declare s as function type
signal* s; // OK, s is a function pointer
