    Description

      For cases when a setting name is changed (and possible other cases) it would be useful to have an `alias` setting type(AliasSetting?) which should redirect all methods to the `aliased` setting.
      It could look like bellow:

          :serverport => {
      		 
            :default    => 8140,
      		 
            :desc       => "The default port puppet subcommands use to communicate
      		 
            with Puppet Server. (eg `puppet facts upload`, `puppet agent`). May be
      		 
            overridden by more specific settings (see `ca_port`, `report_port`).",
      		 
            end
      		 
          },
      		 
          :masterport => {
      		 
            :type     => :alias
      		 
            :value     => :serverport 
            end
      		 
          },
