The command will create a define-alias for the current symbol if required (i.e. there is not already a define-alias for the same type)
The command will also change the current symbol to the alias value. So, the command can be used to convert fully-qualified class name to an existing alias.
The types Object and String never trigger a define-alias addition and the fully qualified name for those types are converted to their simple class name (running the command on symbol <java.lang.String> will result in <String> and no define-alias).
