Shortcutting (Score:1)

For me, the beauty of 'aliased' lies mostly in its shortcutting of names. If I'd want to make an API to declare multiple of these in one, I would probably do...

use aliased::all 'Foo::Bar' => qw( Baz Quux Fnord ); my $baz = Baz->new; my $quux = Quux->new; my $fnord = Fnord->new;

With this, it is IMO short enough, explicit enough, and contains no surprises.
