Well, this doesn't look good. There are a couple issues here. The first is that when we changed the symtab_insert behavior to allow require then declare we missed the alias case, the patch below should fix that. The second problem is that type_write now treats primary as a boolean value (as of the typebounds patch). A while back we made primary not necessarily a boolean in the module case where an alias had a value already and we needed to keep track of what the primary value was. The typebounds patch combined multiple fields into a 'properties' bitmap, which includes primary, so the value is now lost.

We can change the module format to keep the primary field around, this particular piece of code is getting increasingly more confusing though (write.c:970)
