I doubt this will ever change, so to help you get used to the current 
syntax, here's how I think of it:

int x;
void function(int) fp;
float[] f;

These are some variable declarations, right?  Now just add alias or typedef 
in front.

alias int x;
alias void function(int) fp;
alias float[] f;

Now they're legal aliases.

Think of them like a variable declaration, except instead of making a 
variable, you're making a type.
