Well, you could start by explaining what exactly this concept is and what
it would be useful for. I imagine that it is mostly equivalent to
symlinks. If so, I can see a use for it, but it would probably have to be
a separate type of object altogether, so you could also create
synonyms/symlinks to functions, types, etc.
