Description
Let's say I have a Java class:
class Foo {
public void bar() {
System.out.println("bar");
}
}
I want to access that bar method in python but with a different name. I swear a while ago I could do:
@HostAccess.Export(name = "barMethod")
public void bar() {
System.out.println("bar");
}
But now the name field doesn't exist?
So then in Python it would be called with barMethod instead of bar.

Research direction
Start by examining the HostAccess.Export annotation and the Java-to-Python method export path described in the issue. Determine whether an exported method can receive an alias, then verify the behavior from Python; done means the Java bar method is callable as barMethod without changing its declaration.
