How can I resolve aliases given a Type? I.e.
import reflect.runtime.universe._
type Alias[A] = Option[Option[A]]
val tpe = typeOf[Alias[_]]
val ExistentialType(quantified, underlying) = tpe
How do I get Option[Option[_$1]] from underlying (or from tpe)? I know that typeSymbol does resolve aliases, but it seems to lose the parameters in the process:
scala> val tT = typeOf[Alias[_]].typeSymbol
tT: reflect.runtime.universe.Symbol = class Option
scala> tT.asType.toType
res3: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = Option[A]
scala> tT.asType.typeParams
res4: List[reflect.runtime.universe.Symbol] = List(type A)
