Refactoring tools such as eg, gorename, and bundle need access to the precise relationship between references and declarations. Before Go 1.8 the Defs and Uses maps sufficed, but with the introduction of aliases, it's impossible to distinguish a reference to an alias from a reference to the alias's "original" object.

I propose that we add another optional map to types.Info:

    AliasUses map[*types.Ident]*types.Alias

I no longer think this is necessary; see comments in CL https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/32108/.
