/*
The alias
rule creates another name a rule can be referred to as.
Aliasing only works for "regular" targets. In particular, package_group
,
config_setting
and test_suite
rules cannot be aliased.
The alias rule has its own visibility declaration. In all other respects, it behaves like the rule it references with some minor exceptions:
environment
rules are not
supported. They are not supported in the --target_environment
command line
option, either.
