Should alias expand visibility?

I thought of two myself:)

1. Should class invariants be called for a public alias of a private method?
2. From D page: "A class can be exported, which means its name and all its 
non-private members are exposed externally to the DLL or EXE." - so a non-
private alias of a private member gets exposed or not? I think there'd be a 
similar issue for D interface/header files.
