[Proposal]: using aliases for function pointers

• Implementation: Not Started
• Specification: Not Started

Summary

using T = delegate*<int, int, int, void>;

Motivation

Language consistency. Without this syntax, you cannot give function pointer names either and the cast from any pointer into a function pointer can make your code hard to read, which is a big downside.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #1239. That issue is about letting both generic type parameters and language keywords be used in using aliases, and I would expect that to cover function pointers as well.

[CyrusNajmabadi]

Yes. I'll test this to make sure this works.

[DanielBaumert]

Does it work?
