    \brief
        Adds an alias for a current window type.

        This method allows you to create an alias for a specified window type.  This means that you can then use
        either name as the type parameter when creating a window.

    \note
        You need to be careful using this system.  Creating an alias using a name that already exists will replace the previous
        mapping for that alias.  Each alias name maintains a stack, which means that it is possible to remove an alias and have the
        previous alias restored.  The windows created via an alias use the real type, so removing an alias after window creation is always
        safe (i.e. it is not the same as removing a real factory, which would cause an exception when trying to destroy a window with a missing
        factory).

    \param aliasName
        String object holding the alias name.  That is the name that \a targetType will also be known as from no on.

    \param targetType
        String object holding the type window type name that is to be aliased.  This type must already exist.

        You are required to supply both the alias and target names because there may exist more than one entry for a given
        alias - therefore you are required to be explicit about which alias is to be removed.

        the ususal window creation interface to be used to create windows that require extra information to full initialise
        themselves.
    \note
        These mappings support 'late binding' to the target window type, as such the type indicated by \a targetType need not
        exist in the system until attempting to create a Window using the type.

        Also note that creating a mapping for an existing type will replace any previous mapping for that same type.
