Seems to be an old behavior. That does not compile with 2.066:

Error: function declaration without return type. (Note that constructors 
are always named 'this')

The following compiles though:

alias bar = foo;

I stand corrected: alias works not only with types but with symbols as 
well. I was right about the original code though: "Aliases cannot be 
used for expressions".
