While trying to remove old syntax from phobos, found this: --- alias int[] F8(); // OK, old syntax alias F8 = int[](); // NG, Error: function declaration without return type.... ---

Actually the grammar doesn't include Type2 (i.e the suffixes) so there's no "fraud" on the specs and what the specs say is handled. But really Type2 should be considered otherwise the old syntax is not interchangeable with the new.

alias F8 = int[] function();
