Thanks.  There's a lot of homework in your post, I'll get on it. For now 
I take it that one can legitimately have an alias definition conditional 
on some test, at least in theory, however much the alias itself could 
stand improvement.  The hidden danger of course is that one might do 
something that seems to work at the time but that is fundamentally 
flawed and liable to blow up later.
