The effect of referring to a constant, type, variable, or function by an alias
is indistinguishable from referring to it by its original name.
For example, the type denoted by a type alias and the aliased type are
<a href="#Type_identity">identical</a>.
</p>
<p>
An alias declaration may appear only as a form of constant, type, variable,
or function declaration at the package level, and the aliased entity must be
a constant, type, variable, or function respectively. Alias declarations inside
functions are not permitted.
