// An Alias represents an alias type.
//
// Alias types are created by alias declarations such as:
//
//	type A = int
//
// The type on the right-hand side of the declaration can be accessed
// using [Alias.Rhs]. This type may itself be an alias.
// Call [Unalias] to obtain the first non-alias type in a chain of
// alias type declarations.
//
// Like a defined ([Named]) type, an alias type has a name.
// Use the [Alias.Obj] method to access its [TypeName] object.
//
// Historically, Alias types were not materialized so that, in the example
// above, A's type was represented by a Basic (int), not an Alias
// whose [Alias.Rhs] is int. But Go 1.24 allows you to declare an
// alias type with type parameters or arguments:
//
//	type Set[K comparable] = map[K]bool
//	s := make(Set[String])
//
// and this requires that Alias types be materialized. Use the
// [Alias.TypeParams] and [Alias.TypeArgs] methods to access them.
//
// To ease the transition, the Alias type was introduced in go1.22,
// but the type-checker would not construct values of this type unless
// the GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 environment variable was provided.
// Starting in go1.23, this variable is enabled by default.
// This setting also causes the predeclared type "any" to be
// represented as an Alias, not a bare [Interface].
