There are too many threads with the words "typedef" and "deprecate" in them for me to find it easily. Stewart.

Basically it was deprecated because it's poorly defined and implemented. There are several types of typedefs that need to be available: parallel, opaque, supertype and subtype. See http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5467

Moreover, if that's the only reason then why not improve it rather than getting rid of it?There are several types of typedefs that need to be available: parallel, opaque, supertype and subtype. See http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5467I see. So the built-in typedef is closest in semantics to subtype, but leaves bits to be desired. Stewart.
