| An alias defines a local macro. |
| |
| A typical use case is to provide access to a shadowed field. |
| |
| Aliases are not members of a struct. They can be referred to only within the |
| struct, and they do not appear in the output. |

| d: 3 |

| b: { |
| a: { |
| // A provides access to the outer "a" which would |
| // otherwise be hidden by the inner one. |
| c: A.d |
| } |
