Proposal: alias method name in sass

[0xqd]

It would be great that we can have the alias method in sass, it will help a lot in building concise API. And furthermore, I see that there is a pattern in alias is that :
One method can have an alias or a "negative-alias" ( I haven't found a good name yet for this kind of method ), that the "negative-alias" just returns opposite result of a method.

@function is_true() {
  @return true
}
alias not_false, is_true;
negative_alias is_true, is_false; 
# is_false is internally defined
# @function is_false() {
#   @return not is_true();
# }

This kind of operation is suitable for function either return true or false. But still, we can return array of values or empty array, hash of values or empty hash.

There's no need to add extra syntax for something that's trivial to do by manually defining a function.

Though i do think that an alias directive would be handy, latest Sass does provide an almost effortless way to define an alias:

@function bar($args...)
  @return foo($args...)

You don't even have to care about the number of arguments.
