The following program
alias uint Uint;
void main() {
foreach(Uint u;1..10) {}
for(Uint u=1;u<10;u++) {}
}
fails with the messages
bug.d(4): Error: forward reference to type Uint
bug.d(4): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (1) of type int to Uint
bug.d(4): Error: forward reference to type Uint
bug.d(4): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (10) of type int to Uint
bug.d(4): Error: Uint is not a scalar type
All similar attempts produced the same messages. Funny that the simple for loop and foreach with builtin types work.

WFM 2.023 Windows. Can you still reproduce on Linux?
