New submission from Xue Fuqiao:
In https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/6fbb7c9d77c6/Doc/tutorial/controlflow.rst#l295 :
A function definition introduces the function name in the
current symbol table. The value of the function name has a
type that is recognized by the interpreter as a user-defined
function. This value can be assigned to another name which
can then also be used as a function. This serves as a general
renaming mechanism
Maybe "aliasing" is a better term than "renaming" here, since the original function name can still be used after the "renaming".
