I was under the impression that alias would only be used as a
compile-time alias to a nested symbol. So this:

alias p1.p2.p3.hash foo;
test(foo);

would be somewhat equivalent to:
alias p1.p2.p3.hash foo;
mixin("test(p1.p2.p3.hash);");

I never thought of using alias as some sort of pointer in disguise.
