It's not that uncommon if you think of operator overloading in C++ and many other languages
Operator overloading is nothing special, really. It's just plain polymorphism, either compile-time or run-time. What makes it seem special is the syntax.
Anyway it's not aliasing, it's the opposite of it: one name for several things rather than several names for one thing.
or things like "from math import radians as rad" in Python.
Yes, that would be an example of aliasing.
