+The `defn-alias` and `defun-alias` macros are much like `defn`_ above,
+with the difference that instead of defining a function with a single
+name, these can also define aliases. Other than taking a list of
+symbols for function names as the first parameter, `defn-alias` and
+`defun-alias` have no other differences compared to `defn` and
+`defun`.
