Description
My current process for renaming aliases looks like the following:
1. Create a new symbol (lets take an Option for example) with the new aliases I want
2. Mark the previous symbol `IsHidden=true`
3. When executing a command, I am not forced to pull both values and determine which gets precedence despite this really only being a single thing. This also makes doing things like validation more difficult.
Alternatively, I could always modify the help build to hide to aliases that I don't want displayed. However, at present, this would require more code, than the above solution.
What I would like is the ability to mark individual aliases as hidden so that I only have a single symbol to manage.
