Interface Aliased

All Known Implementing Classes:
AliasedExpression
@API(status=STABLE, since="1.0") public interface Aliased
An element with an alias. An alias has a subtle difference to a symbolic name in cypher. Nodes and relationships can have symbolic names which in turn can be aliased as well.

Therefore, the Cypher generator needs both Named and Aliased.
