And the implementation of DIP1005 would only "create this alias 
automatically", so that you would write what you always did - if 
any type in a declaration is not found, the compiler tries to 
find it in the function definition and use that instead.

Therefore I would call this "auto aliasing"

It does not inquire a (visible) language change, only an enhanced 
lookup within the compiler.
