I don't think anyone's actually gone and generated phandles in
/aliases, although it was suggested early on. The syntax is
foo = < &bar >;
to generate a phandle and
foo = &bar;
to generate a path.
I was a bit worried about confusion between these forms, but at least
Kumar and myself came up with this syntax independently, which
suggests it's not too surprising to most people, and no-one had any
other suggestions.
