specs says that literals cannot be aliased[1].

Seems like an arbitrary restriction.  Any reason for that?  I will file an issue against SDC.

dunno, i can't see any reason to duplicate `enum` with `alias`.

`alias` meant for aliasing *identifiers*, not literals. i.e.

  enum a = 42;
  alias b = a;

is working.

alias foo = int;

Is int an identifier now ?

and it always was. it's the indentifier which denotes type.

Well then 3 always was as well. It is the "indentifier" which denotes value. Good to see you agree with me.

and space to. and absense of chars altogether. to be honest, everything is just a "0" or "1". so i wonder why you are using such unnecessary complex things as high-level languages instead of entering binary codes with switches, as real men do.

This is working as intended, so it's an enhancement.
