[Oberon] Module aliases - what is the correct way to handle them

Thanks, and (I'm sorry if this is boring for everyone else) now I'm 
beginning to see that Jorg and I are thinking one way and you and 
Andreas are perhaps thinking another, which has helped me understand 
where the complications have come in.

I don't have a problem with the above being switched around because I 
(and Jorg) see the aliases and the canonical module names as different 
things.  I think you and Andreas are allowing a module alias to appear 
on the right hand side of an alias definition, but I wouldn't.  What's 
right?

Cheers,
Paul
