Hi Olle, I appreciate your idea of introducing a similar concept of typedef. What if you write an RFC explaining that concept. I can join you however in co-authoring this request.
Seriously, I have had issues with writing such type again and again. If you look at mixed type, it is indeed an alias of some union types. Adding such an option to userland would lead to introduction of various type hints. Plus, it will help devs write short hand aliases for their intersection types.
