and pass-by-alias

Speaking of alias, one killer feature would be to enable using alias
for expressions. E.g.:

struct Window { struct Point { int x, y; } Point point; }
void test() {
    Window window;
    alias window.point.x x;
    // use 'x' here which is really window.point.x
}

Yah, we should add that at some point. Walter and I discussed about it and it's virtually approved. But to be on the conservative side, it's not for expressions but for mere pointer-chasing chains.
