alias and typedef should have assignment syntax to correspond with assignments
and renamed imports.

Whenever I see or want to write "alias a b", it takes some thinking to remember
what order the arguments should be in. If aliases worked as "alias newsymbol =
existingsymbol", it would be trivial to determine which symbol is new and which
it refers to.

Typedef has the same ugly syntax, so the same change should apply to it.
