Perhaps one could allow an alias to be re-mapped dynamically to
a different "aliasee". (The compiler tries to "de-alias" when
it can; the would have to be limited.)
But I don't really see what you're aiming for, and why.
I guess one use case is "module signatures", which can be saitified
by different "module providers" (implementations), perhaps with
hot-swapping. A module signature is basically a set of aliases.
