+The short name aliases are actually implemented as pointers to functions. Thus
+if you want to get the pointer of a function using the short name alias you
+can't use the '&'. Thus:
+.nf
+
+ void (*foo)(Self *);
+
+ /* this will NOT work */
+ foo = &short_name;
+
+ /* this will work */
+ foo = short_name;
+
+ /* Both of these will work */
+ foo = &my_class_long_name;
+ foo = my_class_long_name;
