| 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. | |

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