Remove limitation for type alias in DEBUG configuration. Add generic aliases
1) I often use type aliases in my code for avoid too long type names. Like this:
using TypeItem = LongNamespace.TypeItem<LongNamespace.Class1,LongNamespace.Class2<LongNamespace.Class3>,.......>;
And compiler said that I can't compile code - alias too long for compile in DEBUG configuration.
2) Some type I need use alias with generic type parameter. By aliases doesn't allow that :( .Sample
using ItemType<T> = LongNamespace.ItemType<T, LongNamespace.Class2<LongNamespace.Class3>........>

Also add the ability to nest type aliases. E.g.
using A = System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<string>;
using F = System.Func<string, A>;I think making type aliases more powerful would make up a little for the lack of type inference in the language.
