Hi!

I think it would be useful to be able to alias the linkage
identifiers.

I want to do

version (Win32) {
  alias Windows lnkmod;
}
version (linux) {
  alias C lnkmod;
}

extern (lnkmod) {

  ...
  ...
  ...

}

As it is now, I need to put the whole extern block inside a
version block, thus doubling up the set of declarations. If
I'ver overlooked some other solution, please mention it :)

I'd use #define and pass it through a C preprocessor -- hee hee hee!!

John Boucher -- Quite contrary
