The "alias" directive should not affect RE rules at all, other than

I would hope another use of ALIAS would be to redirect a subsequent SCORE or
DESCRIPTION directive to the renamed rule rather than producing a warning for
"score for nonexistant rule" or the like.
That's the intent, see the original proposal.
An "alias RULENAME RULENAME_2" directive would cause all subsequent
directives that mention RULENAME to be interpreted as if they had been
written for RULENAME_2 instead.
