That's a little more than what the enhancement request is about, it's also a very special case compared to what alias usually does, I think we shouldn't go this far.

I was thinking about this, too. So initializers are needed for alias members?

They're supposed to refer to existing members, e.g. alias b = a;.
Anyway, it's kind of fast to implement this already, since I've just filed the enhancement. Maybe a NG discussion should be made first to get a go-ahead.

Well I've posted to the newsgroups. I don't have high hopes that it will be accepted. However Issue 9395 is something that can easily pass through. If you want to have a go at it, you might want to see Pull 463 for a reference.

n.g. hasn't been positive about this enhancement. I'll leave it up a bit longer, and if it doesn't improve, will close it. |

I think we can already close it, I've reached the same conclusions as others, too little gain for this feature. Sorry for the wasted work @hpohl ! |

No problem. |
