It is now possible to rename a symbol from a VMOD without breaking existing code until the VMOD author decides to remove the deprecated alias. The VCC file syntax is simply: $Alias <alias> <function> [Optional description] $Alias <.alias> <obj.method> [Optional description] The alias can only apply to a $Function or $Method. The generated RST looks like this for a method: ALIAS x<object>.<name>() ------------------------ Deprecated alias for ``x<object>.<method>()``. [Optional description] It looks the same for a function without the $Object prefix. Aliases don't have a reference label for sphinx docs, the goal is not to make them prominent, but rather to have the ability to move them to a manual section for deprecated symbols at the end of the document.
