Type aliases

Create an alias for a previously defined type.

typedef int MyInt;
var MyInt i;
<<< i >>>;
<<< i $ int >>>;

Aliases can also point to an array type

typedef float[3] Point;
var Point p;
foreach(a : p)
  <<< a >>>;

Aliases can be used to refer to a type family

typedef Ptr:[int] IntPtr;
var IntPtr int_ptr;
<<< int_ptr >>>;
