           Summary: Delete useless aliases in astcodegen.d once all host
                    compilers use 2.079.1 or later

The aliases were present to workaround a compiler bug which was fixed by : #7668 but the update couldn't be done because the bootstrapping version of the compiler did not benefit from the fix. Not all bootstrapping compiler have been bumped to 2.079 and as soon as there's a stable GDC release that includes this fix we can remove the aliases.
