DDoc used the name of the type as it is in the code, rather than translating
aliases to their real meanings.

Example based on my real code:
---
struct Dimensional2(T)
{
T x, y;
alias x width;
alias y height;
}
alias Dimensional2!(int) Position;
alias Dimensional2!(int) Size;
---

I get Dimensional2!(int) in my ddoc output whenever I use Size or Position,
and it's hard to understand when reading the docs.

Perhaps there could be a way to adjust this behavior?
