Does the new alias syntax not support extern for function types?

But that's the old syntax, with which one can do this:

alias extern(System) void function() foo;

I'm talking about the new syntax, with =. Apparently, this does
support prefix extern, as you show:

extern(System) alias foo = void function();

I guess that's the solution, but it seems weird to me that it
does not support extern where the old syntax does.
