So what are we arguing about here? If struct + alias this trumps
Typedef, then we should remove Typedef from Phobos and call it a day.

This thread has gone on way too long (and has devolved into
thinly-veiled name-calling, sarcasm, and nitpicking on definitions of
words -- only inches away from Godwin's Law) without any action. Will
anyone object if I submit a PR to get rid of Typedef? :-P
