[swift-evolution] extending typealiases

[Anton Zhilin]

If I understand correctly, extension of a typealias should be strictly
equivalent to extension of type on the right:

extension Any<class> {
    func foo()
}

And Any<...> are not nominal types, so until we additionally allow
extensions for non-nominal types, this will not compile.
