Hi,
I'm still interested in, why alias wouldn't be a native Perl 6 term?
I think, there are several reasons for alias:
- in natural languages, synonims are very often - alias is a synonim
- in Perl 6, currently there's no way to create a reference to a
variable, _with the context of the

Hi,
kilobytes := kilobyte; will not work for you (try it), because you
have to declare the variable kilobytes - in the default strict mode.
But you can't say for ex. my kilobytes, if you want to export it.
So you say `our kilobytes ::= kilobyte` (or `:=`, you still haven't

Larry,
You can always write a macro that does that.

That won't work on a method name anyway unless you do it in the
dispatch class.

You'll have to write your own macro if you want to do that.
As I understood, you wrote down, how I can workaround it with macros,
and why it

Isn't it possible to add a Role to the relevant Class, which specifies
that is 'handles' the method name you want as an alias?
