Alias expansion is useful but when aliasing a single module,
it can be harder to read with unnecessary braces.

alias ModuleA.Foo
alias ModuleA.{Foo, Bar}

alias ModuleA.{Foo}
Like all `Readability` issues, this one is not a technical concern.
But you can improve the odds of others reading and liking your code by making
it easier to follow.
