For me the topic is split in 3 parts
1. implement the alias mechanisms as defined in ECMA (might be done, but we should check)
2. clean up the library to not use the infix and prefix-variant in the library
3. clean up to remove the redundancy and remove the old infix and and prefix syntax.

3 shall be done very late, as it introduces an incompatibility, or maybe we do it only in a "strict mode" of the compiler. Still I think it is good to provide only ONE was of doing it in the long term. If we want to be that backward compatible we could implement a tool or script that does the syntax change for the user.

According to our Wiki, Liberty implements alias as well as alias "[]".  So this port would be ECMA compliant.

Liberty goes a bit further in that ISE's alias "()" is implemented as well.

If this suffices for ECMA compliancy, this task can be set to 'done' and then can be closed.

Check the status of alias implementation: Is it ECMA conform?

Remove infix and prefix usages from library and tools

Make those obsolete.

Create a ticket for release n+3 to remove the support of those.
