Erhm...  Maybe I'm missing something about your suggestion, but without
arguments, how would we tell the compiler the symbol name of the
additional alias we want for the definition?

Maybe, instead of no arguments, we could use something like:

  attribute (alias (..., "alt_sym_name"))

but I don't find that clearer, and I have a hunch that the
implementation would be significantly more convoluted.

very few check the facts.  Think Assange & Stallman.  The empires strike back
