Can an “alias” atom just be a zero sized atom with one reference of kindLayoutBefore to its target? The layout engine should then place the alias atom right before the real atom, so you wind up with two symbols at one address. -Nick On Sep 12, 2013, at 3:02 PM, Shankar Easwaran <shankare at codeaurora.org> wrote: > Hi Nick, > > In addition to what you mentioned...

...d work if there is an actual function fn, and a symbol A that can override. If there is no such symbol, whatever is being aliased to will take preference.

Hi Nick, In addition to what you mentioned, I think there needs a special *AliasReference* that need to be created which the DefinedAtom points to.
