I've had problems in the past using the new alias syntax when 
porting C headers.

Stuff like this:

alias extern(C) uint function(Tcl_HashTable* tablePtr, void* 
keyPtr) nothrow Tcl_HashKeyProc;
alias extern(C) int function(void* keyPtr, Tcl_HashEntry* hPtr) 
nothrow Tcl_CompareHashKeysProc;
alias extern(C) Tcl_HashEntry* function(Tcl_HashTable* tablePtr, 
void* keyPtr) nothrow Tcl_AllocHashEntryProc;
alias extern(C) void function(Tcl_HashEntry* hPtr) nothrow 
Tcl_FreeHashEntryProc;

Stuff like this used to fail in the new style.

Incidentally, i've just ported this to the new style and it now 
compiles. I suggest keeping the old style for a while longer.
