Luc's right. The first reference to defvaralias is: 2001-10-04 Gerd Moellmann This adds `defvaralias' and `indirect-variable'. Changes not directly related to this feature are there to gain the same performance again as before variable aliases. and the previous entry on ChangeLog.9 is: 2001-10-04 Gerd Moellmann * Branch for 21.1. so it seems like Gerd branched for 21.1 and immediately afterwards commited a bunch of things on the main trunk, `defvaralias' among them. It's a little weird, though. `defvaralias' is mentioned on lisp\ChangeLog on 21.[1-4]: 2001-05-20 Gerd Moellmann * font-lock.el (lisp-font-lock-keywords-1): Add `defvaralias'. and the corresponding font-lock code indeed has: "(\\(def\\(" ;; Function declarations. "\\(advice\\|varalias\\|alias\\|generic\\|macro\\*?\\|method\\|" [etc] even when the function is not available. And, from 21.2+, lisp\w32-fns.el has this: ;; Set system coding system initially from locale-coding-system. ;; In future, when defvaralias is available, this will become an alias.
