Thinking out loud... we could define the syntax that a leading "*" indicates the first part of the path is a dereference of /aliases.
Assuming /aliases/soc = /soc8360@e000000 /aliases/ethernet0 = /soc8360@e0000000/.../enet0 then print *soc/enet0 and print *ethernet0 would both work and print the right thing. You *would* have to know that the first element of the path is an /aliases dereference. Your original patch did not require that piece of knowledge (but silently and automagically, which makes me nervous).
did we come to resolution on this? I'd like to see this in 1.3.5.
