We currently have a lot of (legacy) function renaming.

For example:

(set! year date:year)
(set! slurp file:read)

We have worse too! (Compare length and count in stdlib/mal.lisp!)

It would be nice to have a helper function (alias new existing) to make the intended use more explicit.

Allow easier aliasing.

Rather than using "(set! new-name old-name)", which works, we should
use an "(alias new-name old-name)" function which expresses our intent
more cleanly.

This closes #38.
