-Alias macros
-============
-
-.. versionadded:: 0.12
-
-The alias macro module provides the ``(defn-alias)`` and
-``(defmacro-alias)``, that were in Hy core previously.
-
-
-Macros
-======
-
-
-.. _defn-alias:
-
-defn-alias
-------------------------
-
-The ``defn-alias`` macro is much like ``defn``,
-with the distinction 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``
-is no different from ``defn``.
-
-.. code-block:: clj
-
-  => (defn-alias [main-name alias] []
-  ...  (print "Hello!"))
-  => (main-name)
-  "Hello!"
-  => (alias)
-  "Hello!"
-
-
-.. _defmacro-alias:
-
-defmacro-alias
---------------
-
-``defmacro-alias`` is used to define macros with multiple names
-(aliases). The general format is ``(defmacro-alias [names] [parameters]
-expr)``. It creates multiple macros with the same parameter list and
-body, under the specified list of names.
-
-The following example defines two macros, both of which allow the user
-to write code in infix notation.
-
-.. code-block:: clj
-
-  => (defmacro-alias [infix infi] [code]
-  ...  (quasiquote (
-  ...    (unquote (get code 1))
-  ...    (unquote (get code 0))
-  ...    (unquote (get code 2)))))
-
-  => (infix (1 + 1))
-  2
-  => (infi (1 + 1))
-  2
