how do I make an alias for a const version of an alias in D 2.0?

I have an issue where I have a custom pointer type like so:
alias char * PCHAR;
I want a const version of this, but if I do this:
alias const(PCHAR) C_PCHAR;
C_PCHAR is still char *
here is some demonstrating code:
alias char * PCHAR;
alias const(PCHAR) C_PCHAR;
alias const(char *) C_PCHAR2;
void main()
{
pragma(msg, (const(PCHAR)).stringof);
pragma(msg, C_PCHAR.stringof);
pragma(msg, C_PCHAR2.stringof);
}
compiling this outputs:
const char*
char*
const char*
Note that using const(PCHAR) in the code and not in the alias results in the
correct behavior
Is this a bug? I'm using D 2.007.
