ModuleAlias Object

The ModuleAlias object represents the information of a module’s ability to replace one or more modules functionality.
Upon registering the module, it is possible to provide Manufacturer - and ModuleID of the modules, which actions the registering module is able to replace. Should the ModuleAlias be uninstalled, the registering module will take its place.
Do note, that a module alias will be able to replace the given module, which is different from Actionmake and ActionShow, which is indicating that the module in question can make and show actions of the given data type.
