The way I read @zero9178 post, there wouldn't be any change to any of the Core Storage or anything: it is still an alias. You just keep the ODS as a driver to declare the alias so you keep the documentation of the alias, and also auto-generate the c++ code for the aliasing dialect.
For example you had to write `class LLVMPointerType : public ptr::PtrType` by hand while it could be generated by TableGen.
