--- Comment #1 from Luca Niccoli <lultimouomo@gmail.com> ---
On the same vein:

---
struct Template(string String) {
    alias Alias = String;
}
pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, Template!"string",
"Alias")));
---

Output:
---
app.d(4): Error: argument "string" has no protection
false
---

And a bit different, but related:

---
struct Struct{};
struct Template(Type) {
    private alias Alias = Type;
}
pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, Template!Struct,
"Alias")));
---

Output:
---
public
---

which does not seem right.
Going through getMember makes it impossible to get the protection attribute of
member aliases.

--- Comment #2 from Jonathan M Davis <issues.dlang@jmdavisProg.com> ---
This just came up in the learn newsgroup again:

---
struct bar {
     public alias pubInt = int;
     private alias privInt = int;
}

static foreach(member ; __traits(allMembers, bar)) {
     // Error: argument `int` has no visibility
     pragma(msg, __traits(getVisibility, __traits(getMember, bar, member)));
}
---

I would guess that the core problem here is that the alias gets replaced with what it's an alias to before getVisibility actually operates on it, which is obviously the wrong order to do things in.
