           Summary: cannot use aliased type for decl of foreach variable
           Product: D
           Version: 2.022
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

The following program

alias uint Uint;

void main() {
  foreach(Uint u;1..10) {}
  for(Uint u=1;u<10;u++) {}
}

fails with the messages

bug.d(4): Error: forward reference to type Uint
bug.d(4): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (1) of type int to Uint
bug.d(4): Error: forward reference to type Uint
bug.d(4): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (10) of type int to Uint
bug.d(4): Error: Uint is not a scalar type

All similar attempts produced the same messages. Funny that the simple for loop
and foreach with builtin types work.
