Topic: ✔ Alias for a tuple type

How can we create an 'alias' for a tuple type in coq?

I could do

Definition alias1 := list nat.

to make alias1 as an alternate name for list nat.

But when I tried

Definition alias2 := (bool * nat).

I got error

The term "bool" has type "Set" while it is expected to have type "nat".

Why is this error showing up? Is my syntax wrong?

Try with (bool* nat)%type
