Define strong-named alias

[flobernd]

Hi there,

is there a preferred way of defining strong-named aliases?

For models I think "model B is A" should work, but what should we do for scalar types?

We don't have a general purpose way yet. We have discussed a declare keyword for this purpose. For scalars I think the best you can do is extend which should hopefully do what you want in emitters.

Thanks for the quick response!

A general purpose keyword sounds like a great idea 🙂

Thank you for mentioning the "extends" workaround. We will try to incorporate that into our custom emitter.
