Not quite: you'd still need a typename keyword:

typename aligned_containers<int,MatrixXd>::map_t myVar;

I'm not really in favor of having this in Eigen: it's not our job to
make the STL's API easier, this is quite orthogonal to Eigen except
for the fact that we provide one STL allocator, and different users
may prefer different solutions (looks like a matter of taste).
