Details:

It would be cool if aliases could be resolved to aliased class when creating
arrays.

For example, the following will fail in the REPL:


(define-alias <MyString> <java.lang.String>)
(make <MyString[]> size: 1)


This will generate the following output in the REPL:


$ kawa
#|kawa:1|# (scheme-implementation-version)
1.14
#|kawa:2|# (define-alias <MyString> <java.lang.String>)
#|kawa:3|# (make <MyString[]> size: 1)
<unknown>: internal compile error - caught java.lang.RuntimeException: no such
class: MyString
    gnu.bytecode.ObjectType.getReflectClass(ObjectType.java:129)
    gnu.bytecode.ClassType.addEnclosingMember(ClassType.java:204)
    gnu.bytecode.ClassType.getEnclosingMember(ClassType.java:191)
    gnu.bytecode.ClassType.doFixups(ClassType.java:1146)
    gnu.bytecode.ClassType.writeToStream(ClassType.java:1166)
    gnu.bytecode.ClassType.writeToArray(ClassType.java:1224)
    gnu.expr.ModuleExp.evalToClass(ModuleExp.java:88)
    gnu.expr.ModuleExp.evalModule1(ModuleExp.java:251)
    gnu.expr.ModuleExp.evalModule(ModuleExp.java:205)
    kawa.Shell.run(Shell.java:279)
    kawa.Shell.run(Shell.java:194)
    kawa.Shell.run(Shell.java:175)
    kawa.repl.main(repl.java:873)


There will be a similar error when compiling the code. For now, the simple
workaround is to use the non-aliased class name.
