It's common practices to put aliases for functions/methods following
the actual definition.
I think I understand your concern. *Usually* when we see something
like a function call, we can search for "def <function name>. But
that won't work if the name is an alias for another function/method.
But this doesn't really have anything much to do with @auto: the
problem exists for all kinds of @<file> nodes. One can imagine a
regex that would search for whatever, but typing such a beast will not
be fun. Once can also imagine a command that would search for various
items, but that doesn't exist yet.
As far as @auto goes, I think the present way strikes a good balance.
It will always be necessary to make by-hand adjustments. That can't
be helped. But the join-node-above/below buttons go a long way in
easing the tedium.

There are limits to the kinds of AI that I am willing consider.
However, we can avoid AI simply by putting everything that isn't
actually in a class or def in separate nodes. That would be a user
option. I don't think it exists yet ;-)

P.S. I have been making regular improvements in
scripts.leo#Buttons-->@button create @auto nodes
as I study programs outside of Leo. One urgent change is to create
@first lines (in the body of the created @auto node) for lines like::
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Another problem appears in the pygments sources. Somehow there is a
warning about @verbatim not being a Leo sentinel. I think that the
warning is erroneous and that @verbatim is a pygments decorator...
