# This module defines the 'alias' rule and the associated target class.
#
# Alias is just a main target which returns its source targets without any
# processing. For example:
#
#   alias bin : hello test_hello ;
#   alias lib : helpers xml_parser ;
#
# Another important use of 'alias' is to conveniently group source files:
#
#   alias platform-src : win.cpp : <os>NT ;
#   alias platform-src : linux.cpp : <os>LINUX ;
#   exe main : main.cpp platform-src ;
#
# Lastly, it is possible to create a local alias for some target, with different
# properties:
#
#   alias big_lib : : @/external_project/big_lib/<link>static ;
#
