> Indeed I liked the idea of removing type aliasing in Oberon-07, but it was reintroduced in the previous year. Wirth justified it saying that sometimes it's useful to introduce a short synonym for a lengthy, imported type name.

Most prominent example of type aliasing with basic types is
TYPE LONGINT = INTEGER;
