Description

For example, [azblob/appendblob.ExpiryTypeAbsolute](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/storage/azblob@v1.4.0/appendblob#ExpiryTypeAbsolute) is an alias for an [internal type](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/storage/azblob@v1.4.0/internal/exported#ExpiryTypeAbsolute) having underlying type `time.Time`. The `appendblob` review should indicate this with an entry like `type ExpiryTypeAbsolute time.Time`
