Calling a static method on a type alias for a generic struct does not compile

[donkopotamus]

Suppose a type declaration is used to provide a shorter name for a specific example of a generic struct

struct X<T>;

impl<T> X<T> {
    fn go() -> int {-1}
}

struct A;
type Alias = X<A>;

then its not possible to call a static method via Alias

fn main() {
    let a = X::<A>::go();  // Works
    let b = Alias::go();   // Won't compile - error: failed to resolve. Use of undeclared module `Alias`
}

Should the compiler expand type declarations in path expressions (ie Alias => X::<T>)?
