There isn't an API to access just the aliased type as it was written. You can use clang_getCanonicalType() to get down to the canonical form of the type. I'd be fine with adding some kind of clang_getDesugaredType() operation to desugar a given type by one step.

That's a bug I just fixed in r124133. Thanks!
