Suggestion to dmd maintainers

For this declaration:
struct Point(X, Y) { ... }
unittest {
alias Point = Point!(double, double);
...
}
the compiler issues:
Error: alias Point recursive alias declaration
The fix is to prepend a dot:
alias Point = .Point!(double, double);
That's a rather obscure intervention. So I suggest that the error
message makes that suggestion wherever sensible, i.e. in this case it
would read:
Error: alias Point recursive alias declaration, did you mean `alias
Point = .Point!(double, double)`?
