/**
 * The aliasBean tag allows you to create a temporary name for a real bean.
 * The temporary name exists (is visible) only to the children of the aliasBean.
 * <p>
 * One use of this feature is to pass "parameters" from an including page to an
 * included one. The included page can use any name it desires for beans it needs to
 * reference, and the including page can then use aliasBean to make those names
 * refer to the beans it wishes to "pass" as parameters.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Suppose you have a block of components you use often but with different beans. You
 * can create a separate JSP page (or equivalent) containing these beans, where the
 * value-bindings refer to some fictive bean name. Document these names as the required
 * "parameters" for this JSP page. Wherever you wish to use this block you then declare
 * an alias component mapping each of these "parameters" to whatever beans (or literal
 * values) you really want to apply the block to, then use jsp:include (or equivalent)
 * to include the reusable block of components.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Note, however, that AliasBean does not work for component bindings; JSF1.1
 * just has no mechanism available to set up the alias during the "restore view"
 * phase while the bindings of its children are being re-established, and then
 * remove the alias after the child bindings are done.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * As a special case, if this component's direct parent is an AliasBeansScope
 * then the alias (temporary name) is active until the end of the parent
 * component, rather than the end of this component.
 * </p>
