Has anyone ever seen a module with a space in the name? If not we
might just as well use
use aka 'Really::Long::Module::Name as MName' qw(foo bar baz);

Sorry, that would not work for me. I found it in the dictionary, but I've never
heard/seen it. And I doubt other foreigners did either, may be mistaken.
Actually, what about "renamed"?
use renamed 'Really::Long::Module::Name as MName' qw(foo bar baz);
