See my use case, with your suggestions, this wouldn't work:

alias equalRoR = equal!equal;

An alternative suggestion, is to change how function templates are expanded.
Currently we have:

void foo(A, B)(A a, B b)

expanding to

template foo(A, B)
{
    void foo(A a, B b);
}

If instead, it expanded to:

template foo(A)
{
    template foo(B)
    {
        void foo(A a, B b);
    }
}

Then foo!int becomes a valid, alias-able symbol, which would solve the problem
as well.
