Docs: Slight tweak to description of the alias metaparameter

- Delete the link to the old language guide; there's no "more information" in there.
- Explain effects in practical terms instead of expecting the reader to know the
  diff between the parser and the "library."
- Adjust quoting.
- Fix technically-correct-but-not-what-we-were-trying-to-show syntax.
Merge pull request #1822 from nfagerlund/alias_metaparameter
