Feature #8947: make alias, alias_method, attr_* return name of the alias

Now that def returns the method name, it would be handy to have alias/alias_method return the name of the alias:

class Foo
private def foo() end
protected alias_method :bar, :foo
end

Same goes for the attr_* methods:

class Foo
private attr_accessor :foo, :bar
end

What do you think?
