Started aliases, but they are suggesting more complicated rules for inheritance, like aliases referencing aliases. Also need to figure out inheritance of aliases from the parent. See #140.

Don't imagine that people are going to create error classes from other modules, but if they do, they should be careful not to use existing templates since they are not public. Seems like maybe they should not be inherited, though. The user can always define a set of common templates in a module somewhere, as a builder function and import it to different modules in their code, so I'm liable to back out of this inheritance. Come to think of it, the messages are not public either. If you where to inherit the messages associated with codes you'd end up having to document the message formats. It really does make more sense to have a builder function and to specify your own symbols. Currently you could use someone else's `Error` class, like `TypeError`, but you can't use their formatting. See #140.

Thinking aloud about inheritance. Do not want to have descendent classes inherit templates by default. Don't really want it to happen at all, but certainly not by default. Looking to create a symbol based system, which is probably something of an abuse, certainly is uninviting, but the alternative is to do nothing and suggest the user defined reusable codes as a code function they share between exceptions. At least there's a mechanism. Who creates error hierarchies in JavaScript anyway? See #140. See #133.

Working through code definition and started with updating `create`'s `vargs` processing so that an array can include anything that is an argument and gets unshifted onto the `vargs` so that definitions are recursive. This means code functions can return arrays. Also, there's an ambiguity between an initial code function and the super class. They are both functions. See #140. See #133.

Appears to be a final draft of aliases or templates. Still not sure what to call them. Have a sketch of inheritance in the swipe. See #140.
