I see thank you! Is the following a correct summary? The point of introducing this is to make it possible that `!ptr.ptr<#llvm.address_space<1>>` can be printed and parsed as e.g. `!llvm.ptr<1>` and the current implementation aims to do so by allowing a dialect to take over the printing and parsing of any attribute/type by returning `DialectAlias` from `getAlias`. This is starting to make more sense to me then
