This is one reason why it is called `alias` and not `define-alias`. Note that this SRFI in principle allows an implementation to alias an unbound identifier (it is left unspecified), in which case not even a "new identifier is introduced" (whatever this means).
I don't understand the distinction. How do you define the term "binding" such that
"define-syntax" creates a binding, but "alias" does not?
