Remarks

AliasRef subclasses TypeRef so that it can have array ranks just like a TypeRef if it's a type alias. The aliased type can be an instance of a generic type (with type arguments), but the AliasRef itself can't have any type arguments. In such a case, the HasTypeArguments and TypeArguments properties will return the values of the aliased type, so that the AliasRef may be used synonymously with the generic aliased type (but the type arguments will not be displayed on the AliasRef). An AliasRef can have array ranks or pointers regardless of whether or not the aliased type has any.
