+### Mnemonic Alias in Assembly
+
+Attribute and Type might want to use aliases in the assembly to reduce verbosity.
+In such cases, `OpAsmAttrInterface` and `OpAsmTypeInterface` could be used to
+generate aliases. In many cases, a simple mnemonic alias is enough, then
+`genMnemonicAlias` could be turned on to automatically generate
+an `getAlias` implementation using the `mnemonic` of the Attribute or Type.

 ### Registering with the Dialect
 
 Once the attributes and types have been defined, they must then be registered
