In my case this is problematic because:

// code
version(Windows) alias HWND WindowPeer;
else version(Motif) alias Widget WindowPeer;
else version(GTK) alias GtkWidget* WindowPeer;

// docs
alias void* WindowPeer;

---------------------------

In the docs all occurences of WindowPeer is replaced with void* :/

A workaround is to do:
typedef void* WindowPeer_;
alias WindowPeer_ WindowPeer;

This is better but the name will never be correct.

If I just do
typedef void* WindowPeer;
I can't have the alias documented correctly as an alias!
