Why should having a typedef to a function type be an issue?

It might be but I'm not seeing it.

The problem is that the compiler ignores the template parameter list. The
compiler should either flag this as an error or allow for such declarations.

A declaration like:

typedef A[] func(A, B)(B bla);

should be seen by the compiler as:

template func(A, B)
{
  typedef A[] func(B bla);
}

Instantiate template:

func!(int, int)* foo;
