ResolveContextAliases

ResolveContextAliases

is an option for Names, Contexts and related functions to control whether to resolve aliases when searching for symbols that match a string pattern.

Details

  • By default, Names and similar functions match string patterns against both the real names of symbols and shorter forms that could be typed in due to entries in $ContextAliases. With the setting ResolveContextAliasesFalse, the entries of $ContextAliases are ignored, and patterns are matched only against real symbol or context names.
