Provides examples of when alias is more appropriate than alias_method and vice versa, as discussed in issue #377.

I think we're off to a good start here, but I think we can do a bit better:

  • we should mention something about the aliasing and inheritance
  • I think we should suggest the use of bareword params for alias and symbols for alias_method whenever possible (as opposed to symbols and strings)

Fixed it up a bit and incorporated your suggestions. Do you think the explanation of aliasing and inheritance is clear enough?
