There's a hint in the description of the material types, saying
that aliases are "useful when the same material is used with a
different modifier".

So you never wondered how Rayfront manages its complete flexibility
in composing modifier trees? That wouldn't be possible without
reassigning modifiers through aliases. Not that you really need
to know that when using Rayfront, as it happens transparently in
the background and all you see is that it works... ;)
