#### 7.5.5.8 Option Aliasing

Sometimes, for backwards compatibility or tradition or just plain convenience, it works better to define one option as a pure alias for another option. For such situations, provide the following pieces of information:

    flag = {
       name  = aliasing-option-name;
       value = aliasing-flag-char; // optional !
       aliases = aliased-to-option;
    };

Do not provide anything else. The usage text for such an option will be:

       alais for aliased-to-option option
