          Issue ID: 24206
           Summary: Can't alias a function type that returns a type with a
                    TypeSuffix
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: nick geany.org

alias F = int*();

Error: function declaration without return type. (Note that constructors are
always named `this`)

The grammar for AliasAssignment has BasicType Parameters, and should have
TypeSuffixes in between:
