For example If I struct type like this

```julia

type Foo end

typealias Bar Foo 
typealias Something Foo

```

I want to know if there is way to get the list of typealias for `Foo` ( `Bar`, `Something`)

Thanks!

`typealias`es are just global constants and is removed in 0.6. If you don’t need an accurate list, you can just walk all globals (`names`) recursively and see if any of them is an alias.

My use case was that same object is being referred as multiple names from data I have. `ex)Price, Cost, Gold...` and I guess defining multiple names as typealias is not a good approach. I should cleanse data or find a better way to handle this.

Thank you for clearing thing up 👍
