Aliases
===============================================================================

Abbreviated Aliases
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ``accretive.aaliases`` module provides abbreviated aliases for accretive
data structures. These are convenient if you think the original names are too
long or have a problem with typing capital letters.

.. doctest:: AbbreviatedAliases

    >>> from accretive.aaliases import acdict, actype
    >>> from accretive import Class, Dictionary

Abbreviated aliases are equivalent to the original classes.

.. doctest:: AbbreviatedAliases

    >>> acdict is Dictionary
    True
    >>> actype is Class
    True

Qualified Aliases
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ``accretive.qaliases`` module provides qualified aliases for accretive data
structures. These are useful if you have conflicting names in the namespace
into which you are trying to import.

.. doctest:: QualifiedAliases

    >>> from accretive.qaliases import AccretiveDictionary, AccretiveNamespace
    >>> from accretive import Dictionary, Namespace

Qualified aliases are equivalent to the original classes.

.. doctest:: QualifiedAliases

    >>> AccretiveDictionary is Dictionary
    True
    >>> AccretiveNamespace is Namespace
    True
