The D documentation needs to clarify when and how alias parameters should work
when aliasing variables.

In particular (see post):

- Can a template alias parameter alias a nested function that references
variables in the parent function scope? If so, is the alias still valid once
the function returns?

- Can a template alias parameter alias a non-static member function?

- Can a template alias parameter alias a function nested in a non-static member
function? If so, is the alias still valid once the member function returns?
