http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9848

           Summary: Better diagnostic when type declaration was not
                    expected
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: andrej.mitrovich gmail.com

void main()
{
    alias Type = int[string];

    // cannot use '==' with types
    static assert(is(int[string]) == Type);

    // Error: found '[' when expecting '.' following int
    static assert(is(int[string]) == int[string]);
}

The first error message is informative, but the second one is a syntax error.
The compiler should emit the first message for both cases.
