Hi.

Just realized that aliases can't be currently documented using DDoc. The following code doesn't generate any documentation:

void setFillRule(FillRule fillRule)
{
}

/**
 * SeeAlso: setFillRule.
 */
alias setFillRule fillRule;


It's this by design or just an overlook?

Thanks.

I think it has to do with when the documentation is generated in the compilation sequence.  I think aliases have been resolved by the time the docs are generated.  You'll also notice that if you do something like

alias int fork
/// This is a fork.
fork x;

The type of the variable will come out as "int" in the documentation.

It's a bug.

Cool. That means it will be fixed and I won't loose the 46 doc comments for aliases I wrote for Cairo4D before realizing this. :D

Isn't alias great? I love it!.
