I use alias all the time.

Ruby-gnome uses aliases all over the place.

Can you believe this?

It does not seem dangerous at all, it simply works.

Do you speak the english language?

You basically asked:

"is there a replacement for alias that can do
what alias can do"

Yes. The name is:

  alias

There is also alias_method but since you ask fake
questions anyway, I am sure you'll ignore that.

There is no risk.

I think you need to use PHP, please improve PHP
and not try to "improve" ruby.

And, by the way, if you were serious, you would
go over to bugs ruby-lang and file feature
requests.
