Will Slang support `using` for type aliasing? #4474

Closed chaoticbob closed 2 months ago

chaoticbob commented 3 months ago

I saw in the tests that Slang supports typedef for type aliasing. But I couldn't find anything about using in the docs or the tests. Curious if using will be supported?

I think this is already covered by typealias A = B;

I think the user can alias using to typealias with define macro like this,

#define using typealias
