I don't suspect there are many languages that would create aliases by
default in an effort to prevent typos, but you could probably create
your own.  I'd prefer no one forced that logic on me, just in case I
want to use a variable that's closely named like a reserved
word/function, only to find out that it's now a reserved word.
