Look at this code:

----------------
void foo() { }
alias typeof(&foo) T;

// works
static if (is(T X : X*) && is(X == function)) {} else { static assert(false); }

// doesn't work
// Error: can only declare type aliases within static if conditionals
static assert(is(T X : X*) && is(X == function));
----------------

This looks really silly. Couldn't that restriction be lifted? The alias would be only valid within the expression and wouldn't require a static if.
