    vcc: New $Alias stanza for VMODs · ceb88d2e
    Dridi Boukelmoune authored
    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.
