um, yeah.

Declaration:
        typedef Decl
        alias Decl
        Decl

Decl:
        StorageClasses Decl
        BasicType Declarators ;
        BasicType Declarator FunctionBody
	AutoDeclaration


Never mind that's wrong.

but it looks like it should be

alias StorageClasses BasicType Declarator

plus some change. my mistake. emphasis on StorageClasses, not what comes
after it.

Looking through declaration.c, I noticed that semantic disallows
specifically

alias const {blah blah blah}

but not the others.
