It is directly implied (although not outright stated) by the
paragraph I quoted in my previous reply, which says that aliases
may be used to merge overload sets. This feature would not work
if the alias referred only to a single member of the overload set.
The documentation here could definitely use some improvement, but
I think it is at least sufficient to reassure you that the
behavior is intentional and can be safely relied upon.
