Hi all,  
I’m announcing the initial release of Alias, a gem that creates,  
manages and searches aliases for methods, constants, and delegated  
methods. Aliases can be saved as a YAML config file to be loaded up  
for future use. Comes with a DSL for easily creating your own alias  
types.

Install from the hub:  
gem install cldwalker-alias --source [http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)  
Or the forge:  
gem install alias
