Represents the use of the ‘alias` keyword to alias a method.

Similar to type, this method returns a symbol that you can use for splitting on the type of the node without having to do a long === chain. Note that like type, it will still be slower than using == for a single class, but should be faster in a case statement or an array comparison.
def self.type: () -> Symbol
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.4.0-preview1/lib/prism/node.rb, line 389
def ===(other)
other.is_a?(AliasMethodNode) &&
(new_name === other.new_name) &&
(old_name === other.old_name) &&
(keyword_loc.nil? == other.keyword_loc.nil?)
end
Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.

Sometimes you want to check an instance of a node against a list of classes to see what kind of behavior to perform. Usually this is done by calling ‘[cls1, cls2].include?(node.class)` or putting the node into a case statement and doing `case node; when cls1; when cls2; end`. Both of these approaches are relatively slow because of the constant lookups, method calls, and/or array allocations.
Instead, you can call type, which will return to you a symbol that you can use for comparison. This is faster than the other approaches because it uses a single integer comparison, but also because if you’re on CRuby you can take advantage of the fact that case statements with all symbol keys will use a jump table.
